The invention discloses a load early-warning adjustment method for a storage system, and the method comprises the steps: initializing a data threshold value, setting the data threshold value according to the type of memory data, and transmitting the data threshold value to a node in a cluster; acquiring and monitoring memory data, acquiring memory data of nodes in the cluster, detecting abnormal data in the acquired memory data according to a data threshold, and reporting the abnormal data; processing the abnormal data, setting an alarm configuration item, and packaging the abnormal data into an alarm message according to the alarm configuration item; processing the alarm message, generating a final message for the alarm message by adopting an alarm recovery mechanism, and reporting the final message; processing the new request, and when the new request is issued in the cluster, processing the new request according to the collected memory data; according to the invention, the load condition of the node in the storage system can be detected and early warned, a set of perfect adjusting mechanism is formed, and the data processing efficiency of the node is improved.
