Abstract
Techniques are provided for load balancing in a storage system using a storage system-driven host connectivity management process. For example, a load balancing process comprises monitoring a distribution of input/output (I/O) workload across resources of a storage system to detect for an occurrence of an I/O workload imbalance, generating updated connection information for a host system connected to the storage system, in response to detecting the occurrence of an I/O workload imbalance, and sending a request to the host system to discover the updated connection information for connecting to the storage system based on the updated connection information.
