MPIO needs to take path response time into account

System: AIX 7
Event: Degraded response time in one path, impacts the overall performance of the other paths of the same hdisk.

MPIO is used to access our disks, running with algorithm shortest-queue, in the event of having a slow path (with no fc errors or scsi errors) the overall hdisk performance is degraded if no I/O queueing in the same hdisk.


Description:We look forward to get MPIO with an algorithm that takes into consideration the path response time and decide to make less/no requests to that path keeping the best overall performance of hdisk
