Abstract
A method is used in balancing I/O load on data storage systems. A slice is selected from a first storage container of a storage tier. The storage tier includes a second storage container. The slice is relocated from the first storage container of the storage tier to the second storage container of the storage tier, where I/O load of the first storage container is greater than I/O load of the second storage container.
