Abstract
A method includes receiving, by virtual machine manager and from a virtual machine, a request for a set of namespace identifiers corresponding to a set of namespaces associated with one or more storage devices. The method also includes determining, by the virtual machine manager, one or more namespaces associated with the virtual machine from the set of namespaces associated with the one or more storage devices. The method further includes, in response to determining the one or more namespaces associated with the virtual machine, sending, by the virtual machine manager and to the virtual machine, a subset of the set of namespace identifiers, the subset of namespace identifiers corresponding to the one or more namespaces associated with the virtual machine.
