摘要: The present invention achieves load balancing of activities on storage entities (30), operating in a area network (SAN) by assignment address to each entity (25).The traffic is monitored and statistics are accumulated over an interval then used obtain the pattern host-storage link (35). A statistical analysis determine optimal routing map from hosts entity. Other heuristic including genetic algorithms may also be used. This mapping set assigning entitie’s addresses gateways (20), thus does not impose any process (10) or disks.
