Abstract

A method for smart mounting of a first storage device to a first server includes receiving, at a first peer-to-peer communication component of a first server, a request from a second peer-to-peer communication component of a second server, the request being a request to mount a first storage device to said first server. The request is a request to mount a first storage device to said first server. The request is using a peer-to-peer communication protocol between the first and the second peer-to-peer communication components without using a central instance between the first and the second server.
