Abstract
According to one embodiment, a system includes a data storage device having data stored therein and a native computer system having resident thereon a controlling operating system in communication with the data storage device. The system also includes a primary computer system having resident thereon a primary operating system in communication with the native computer system via a first connection, the primary computer system being in communication with the data storage device via a second connection that is not in communication with the native computer system, the primary computer system having a processor executing a primary application. A volume on the data storage device is under logical control of the controlling operating system of the native computer system, and the primary computer system reads or writes data to the volume directly via the second connection. Other systems, methods and computer program products are also described relating to accessing data.
