Abstract
Communication between VMs running in a clustered virtualization environment and a distributed storage system is managed. The distributed storage system consists of multiple storage/compute nodes. A hypervisor communicates with a controller in a local node on behalf of a VM. The controller will redirect a connection to a second controller on different node. The controller to which the connection is redirected is selected so as to distribute the load evenly across the cluster.
