Abstract: A method processes input-output commands (IOs) in a storage system. The storage system receives an IO including first and second identifiers. The first identifier is used to direct the IO to the storage system. At the storage system, the method retrieves the second identifier from the IO and translates the second identifier to a logical storage volume identifier. Then, the method executes the IO on storage locations referenced by a logical storage volume corresponding to the logical storage volume identifier.

Abstract: Embodiments provide data in-flight (DIF) services to software applications such as virtual machines (VMs) at an application level without requiring modification to established storage protocols. In exemplary embodiments, a storage controller transmits an advertisement of one or more data in-flight (DIF) services supported by a storage container of the storage controller. One or more DIF services communication path is created with attributes corresponding to the DIF services supported by the storage container. The storage controller receives, over the DIF services communication path, tagged data that can include data transmitted by a virtual machine (VM) for storage in the storage container.

Abstract: The storage system exports logical storage volumes that are provisioned as storage objects. These storage objects are accessed on demand by connected computer systems using standard protocols, such as SCSI and NFS, through logical endpoints for the protocol traffic that are configured in the storage system. Logical storage volumes are created from a logical storage container having an address space that maps to storage locations of the physical data storage units. Each of the logical storage volumes so created has an address space that maps to the address space of the logical storage container. A logical storage container may span more than one storage system and logical storage volumes of different customers can be provisioned from the same logical storage container with appropriate security settings.

Abstract translation: 存储系统导出配置为存储对象的逻辑存储卷。 通过使用标准协议（如SCSI和NFS）的连接的计算机系统，可以通过存储系统中配置的协议流量的逻辑端点来访问这些存储对象。 从具有映射到物理数据存储单元的存储位置的地址空间的逻辑存储容器创建逻辑存储卷。 如此创建的每个逻辑存储卷都具有映射到逻辑存储容器的地址空间的地址空间。 逻辑存储容器可以跨越多个存储系统，并且可以通过适当的安全设置从相同的逻辑存储容器中提供不同客户的逻辑存储卷。

Abstract: Embodiments provide data in-flight (DIF) services to software applications such as virtual machines (VMs) at an application level without requiring modification to established storage protocols. In exemplary embodiments, a software application is associated with a DIF services policy indicating one or more DIF services to apply to the software application. Data transmitted by the software application to a destination is tagged based on the DIF services policy associated with the software application and transmitted to the destination.
