Load balancing in a virtualized computing environment based on a fabric limit

A method of load balancing in a computing environment of the type including a plurality of fabrics coupling a plurality of hosts to one or more storage systems, the method comprising:

• determining a fabric limit for a limited fabric resource of each of the plurality of fabrics;
• determining an allocation of the limited fabric resource for each of the plurality of fabrics;
• and
• balancing utilization of the limited fabric resource across the plurality of fabrics using at least one processor based at least in part upon the determined fabric limits and determined allocations of the limited fabric resource for the plurality of fabrics, wherein balancing utilization of the limited fabric resource includes migrating at least one virtual machine that utilizes a first fabric among the plurality of fabrics to use a second fabric among the plurality of fabrics.
