Abstract
Multiple hardware and/or software components across the host and data storage system may be capable of performing data transformation operations. In at least one embodiment, a particular one of the multiple components may be selected, per I/O operation and using information generated by a component selection tool, to perform a data transformation operation. For an I/O operation, a first component may be selected to perform a first data transformation operation and a second different component may be selected to perform a second data transformation operation. The first and second components may both be on the host, both on the data storage system, or on different ones of the host and data storage system. A host I/O driver may create a request for the I/O operation where the request includes indicators identifying the first and second components as selected for performing the data transformation operations.
