Abstract
A method and system for managing I/O resources for communications between a host and a target device through at least one adapter, involves setting a local resource associated with each adapter. If a target device cannot accept an I/O request, the local resource associated with each adapter is set to the number of I/O resources currently used by each adapter associated therewith. The host is configured to issue no more than the local resource number of I/O requests to any individual adapter. The local resources may be periodically rebalanced to account for changes in system needs.
