Abstract: An anomaly in a shared input/ouput (IO) resource that is accessed by a plurality hosts or clients is detected when a host that is not bound by any QoS policy presents large workloads to a shared IO resource that is also accessed by hosts or clients that are governed by QoS policy. The anomaly detection triggers a response from the hosts or clients as a way to protect against the effect of the anomaly. The response is an increase in window sizes. The window sizes of the hosts or clients may be increased to the maximum window size or in proportion to their QoS shares.

Abstract: A shared input/output (IO) resource is managed in a decentralized manner. Each of multiple hosts having IO access to the shared resource, computes an average latency value that is normalized with respect to average IO request sizes, and stores the computed normalized latency value for later use. The normalized latency values thus computed and stored may be used for a variety of different applications, including enforcing a quality of service (QoS) policy that is applied to the hosts, detecting a condition known as an anomaly where a host that is not bound by a QoS policy accesses the shared resource at a rate that impacts the level of service received by the plurality of hosts that are bound by the QoS policy, and migrating workloads between storage arrays to achieve load balancing across the storage arrays.

Abstract translation: 共享的输入/输出（IO）资源以分散的方式进行管理。 具有对共享资源的IO访问权的多个主机中的每一个计算相对于平均IO请求大小进行归一化的平均延迟值，并且存储所计算的归一化等待时间值以备以后使用。 如此计算和存储的归一化等待时间值可以用于各种不同的应用，包括实施应用于主机的服务质量（QoS）策略，检测被称为异常的状况，其中不受 QoS策略以影响由QoS策略约束的多个主机接收的服务等级的速率访问共享资源，以及在存储阵列之间迁移工作负载以实现跨存储阵列的负载平衡。
