Abstract
A volume manager I/O method and system. The method includes determining a storage extent mapping of storage functionality of a plurality of storage devices and generating a logical disk extent based on the storage extent mapping. The logical disk extent is exported to a volume device component that is communicatively coupled to implement I/O for an application. An I/O request from the application is received via the volume device component. The I/O request is executed in accordance with the logical disk extent.
