Abstract: The present invention uniquely names storage devices in a global storage environment with hierarchical storage domains. In particular, according to one or more embodiments of the present invention a storage device (e.g., a disk) is connected at a particular location within the global storage environment. That particular location is associated with a path of each of one or more hierarchical storage domains in which the storage device is located. Accordingly, a name is assigned to the storage device that is the path of the hierarchical storage domains in which the storage device is located.
