Abstract
A method, computer program product and computer system for assigning logic storage entities of a storage device to multiple partitions of a computer system, which includes associating each logic storage entity to one of the partitions that are allowed to access the logic storage entity; configuring a partition supervisor to control accesses of the partitions to the logic storage entities, so that the partitions can share resources when accessing the logic storage entities; and providing an interceptor in the partition supervisor, so that a request or a response between a select logic storage entity and a select partition is intercepted if the select partition is not allowed to access the select storage entity.
