Abstract
A storage system monitors system performance metrics and client performance metrics related to input/output (I/O) operations. The storage system, generates a performance adjustment value for each client using a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller to match the corresponding respective target performance value within a time period based on feedback of the respective monitored client performance metric and the system performance metric. The storage system, throttles I/O operations for each client during the time period such that the respective client performance moves toward the corresponding respective target performance value.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- monitoring a system performance metric of a storage system serving a plurality of clients;
- monitoring a client performance metric of the plurality of clients performing input/output (I/O) operations to the storage system, wherein each client performance metric corresponds to a respective target performance value;
- generating, by the storage system, a client performance adjustment value for each client using a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller to match the corresponding respective target performance value within a time period based on feedback of the respective monitored client performance metric and the system performance metric;
- and
- throttling, by the storage system, the I/O operations for each client during the time period such that the respective client performance metric moves toward the corresponding respective target performance value.
A storage system comprising:
- a processor coupled to one or more storage devices for serving a plurality of clients via a network;
- and
- a network interface connected to the network and coupled to the processor, the processor configured to execute instructions to cause the storage system to,
- monitor a system performance metric of the storage system;
- monitor a client performance metric of the plurality of clients performing input/output (I/O) operations to the storage system, wherein each client performance metric corresponds to a respective target performance value;
- generate a client performance adjustment value for each client using a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller to match the corresponding respective target performance value within a time period based on feedback of the respective monitored client performance metric and the system performance metric;
- and
- throttle the I/O operations for each client during the time period such that the respective client performance metric moves toward the corresponding respective target performance value.
A non-transistory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon executable by a processor of a storage system, the instructions to cause the storage system to:
- monitoring a system performance metric of the storage system serving a plurality of clients;
- monitoring a client performance metric of the plurality of clients performing input/output (I/O) operations to the storage system, wherein each client performance metric corresponds to a respective target performance value;
- generating, by the storage system, a client performance adjustment value for each client using a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller to match the corresponding respective target performance value within a time period based on feedback of the respective monitored client performance metric and the system performance metric;
- and
- throttling, by the storage system, the I/O operations for each client during the time period such that the respective client performance metric moves toward the corresponding respective target performance value.
