For a video-on-demand computer system, we propose a scheme which balances the load on the disks, thereby helping to solve a performance problem crucial to achieving maximal video throughput. Our load-balancing scheme consists of two components. The static component determines good assignments of videos to groups of striped disks. The dynamic component uses these assignments, and features a "DASD dancing" algorithm which performs real-time disk scheduling in an effective manner. Our scheme works synergistically with disk striping. We examine the performance of the proposed algorithm via simulation experiments.
