Abstract
A packed command can be received at a storage device. The packed command can include an indicator of a source data location in the storage device and an indicator of a destination data location in the storage device. In response to receiving the packed command, a storage map table in the storage device can be updated. Also, a storage processing guide can be sent to a storage device. The processing guide can include a stream indicator associating the processing guide with a storage command stream. A set of storage commands can also be sent to the storage device. One or more of the commands in the set can each include a stream indicator that matches the stream indicator in the processing guide and identifies the command with the stream.
