In certain embodiments shown in FIG. 16, the plurality of interfaces comprise a plurality of ports of a host bus adapter that communicatively couples the storage controller to a host computational device. The plurality of resources comprise a plurality of task control blocks for executing a plurality of input/output (I/O) operations that are received by the host bus adapter from the host computational device.

FIG. 17 illustrates a flowchart that shows a determination of load balancing mechanism for shared resource in a storage system by training a machine learning module, in accordance with certain embodiments;

Control starts at block 1702 in which a machine learning module 106 receives inputs comprising attributes of a storage controller 102, wherein the attributes affect allocation of a plurality of resources to a plurality of interfaces in the storage controller. In response to a predetermined number of I/O operations occurring in the storage controller 102, a generation is made (at block 1704) via forward propagation through a plurality of layers of the machine learning module 106 of an output value corresponding to a number of resources to allocate to an interface of the plurality of interfaces in the storage controller 102.
