Abstract
Embodiments are directed towards managing an impact of a plurality of system and/or maintenance tasks distributed across a plurality of nodes. At least one initiator node may provide at least one disk request to at least one disk on at least one participant node. Each disk on each participant node with a workload, such as request wait time, above a maximum threshold and/or below a minimum threshold may be determined. If a disk is determined to have a workload above a maximum threshold and/or below a minimum threshold, then an impact of respective tasks on initiator nodes that provided requests to the determined disks may be reduced and/or increased, respectively. In some embodiments, an initiator node may reduce or increase an impact of a task by reducing or increasing a number of threads executing on that initiator node for that task.
