Abstract
A method, computer readable medium, and system that handles a multi-protocol name in a virtualization environment includes determining and predicting with a virtualization management computing device when a name collision occurs between content names of different content accessible by two or more protocols. The virtualization management computing device restricts access to the different content in one or more network attached storage devices when the name collision is determined to occur to one or more of the protocols which can distinguish the different content. It preserves access to the different content in certain cases where the collision can be predicted.
