Abstract

A first location in one or more storage nodes is determined, with the first location being associated with a first block of a plurality of blocks associated with a storage volume. First information that maps the first block to the first location is generated. At least a portion of data is obtained from the first block at the first location. A second location in the one or more storage nodes is determined, with the second location being associated with a second block. Second information that maps the second block to the second location is included in the first information. A second computer system, different from the first computer system, is enabled, by providing at least a portion of the first information, to perform an operation to the storage volume.
