Abstract
The storage system exports logical storage volumes that are provisioned as storage objects. These storage objects are accessed on demand by connected computer systems using standard protocols, such as SCSI and NFS, through logical endpoints for the protocol traffic that are configured in the storage system. When an input-output command (IO) is received at the storage system, an identifier is retrieved from the IO and translated into a logical storage volume identifier, and the IO is executed on storage locations referenced by a logical storage volume corresponding to the logical storage volume identifier.
