Abstract
A storage system (400) includes a storage processor (420-1) such as a storage card resident in a host server (410-1) and coupled to the storage device (450-1). The storage processor (420-1) may be configured to create a virtual volume (428-1), store content derived from an image (492) downloaded from a URL storage corresponding to the virtual volume (428-1), and present the virtual volume (428-1) to the host server as a boot LUN. A management infrastructure (480) can be used to create a library (490) of images (492, 494) corresponding to different storage system characteristics and used to selected which URL is provided to the storage processor (420-1).
