Abstract
An information handling system includes storage drives, a first storage controller configured to map to a first subset of the storage drives, a second storage controller configured to map to a second subset of the storage drives different from the first subset, and a BMC. The BMC directs the storage controllers to detect storage traffic to the first and second subsets of storage drives, compares the storage traffic from the storage controllers, and remaps the first storage controller to map storage transactions on a third subset of the storage drives different from the first subset when the comparison indicates that the first storage traffic is greater than the second storage traffic.
