Input/output device selection system

An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:

• a processing system;
• and
• a memory system that is coupled to the processing system and that includes instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to provide a Input/Output (I/O) scheduler engine that is configured to:
• receive an I/O request that involves at least one memory device that is configured to store data;
• determine at least one I/O operation that is configured to satisfy the I/O request;
• identify an operating level of a plurality of I/O devices that are separate from and coupled to the at least one memory device and that are configured to perform the at least one I/O operation;
• select, based on the operating level of the plurality the I/O devices, a subset of the plurality of I/O devices for performing the at least one I/O operation;
• and
• transmit at least one I/O operation instruction that is configured to cause the subset of the plurality of I/O devices to perform the at least one I/O operation in order to satisfy the I/O request.

A method for selecting (Input/Output) I/O devices for satisfying an I/O request, comprising:

• receiving, by an Input/Output (I/O) scheduler, an I/O request that involves at least one memory device that is configured to store data;
• determining, by the I/O scheduler, at least one I/O operation that is configured to satisfy the I/O request;
• identifying, by the I/O scheduler, an operating level of a plurality of I/O devices that are separate from and coupled to the at least one memory device and that are configured to perform the at least one I/O operation;
• selecting, by the I/O scheduler based on the operating level of the plurality the I/O devices, a subset of the plurality of I/O devices for performing the at least one I/O operation;
• and
• transmitting, by the I/O scheduler, at least one I/O operation instruction that is configured to cause the subset of the plurality of I/O devices to perform the at least one I/O operation in order to satisfy the I/O request.
