Abstract
A storage system that includes a management communication interface coupled to a storage management layer and further includes a data communication interface. Upon receiving a request for accessing the storage management layer, from the host, via the data communication interface, the management layer sends to the host, access information necessary for allowing access of the host to the storage management layer via the management communication interface; and upon receiving a management command, from the host via the management communication interface, the host is provided with access to the storage management layer, in cases where the management command conforms to the access information.
