When a read request for the data portion is received from an application executing on a host, the host may determine whether the data portion is in host cache, and if so, whether the logical storage unit of the data portion is shared by another host system. If there is another host system sharing the logical storage unit, a latest version stored on the storage system may be determined and compared to the version stored in the host cache. If the version in the host cache is the same as the latest version stored on the storage system, the data portion may be retrieved from the host cache. If the version in the host cache is not the latest version stored on the storage system, the data portion may be retrieved from the storage system, and the host cache may be updated with the latest version of the data portion.
