The load balancing framework for high-performance clustered storagesystems presented in this paper provides a general method for reconfiguringa system facing dynamic workload changes. It simultaneously balances load andminimizes the cost of reconfiguration. It can be used for automatic reconfigurationor to present an administrator with a range of (near) optimal reconfigurationoptions, allowing a tradeoff between load distribution and reconfiguration cost.The framework supports a wide range of measures for load imbalance and reconfigurationcost, as well as several optimization techniques. The effectivenessof this framework is demonstrated by balancing the workload on a NetApp DataONTAP GX system, a commercial scale-out clustered NFS server implementation.The evaluation scenario considers consolidating two real world systems,with hundreds of users each: a six-node clustered storage system supporting engineeringworkloads and a legacy system supporting three email severs.
