Abstract
A method includes receiving, by a computing device of a dispersed storage network (DSN), a non-standard data access request regarding a set of encoded data slices, where the non-standard data access request includes a set of network identifiers of a set of storage units, a data identifier corresponding to data, and a data access function. The method further includes the computing device converting the non-standard data access request into one or more DSN slice names. The method further includes the computing device determining that the one or more DSN slice names are within a slice name range allocated to the computing device. When the one or more DSN slice names are within the slice name range, the method further includes the computing device executing the data access function regarding one or more encoded data slices corresponding to the one or more DSN slice names.
