Abstract
A driver enables a first virtual storage director running in a container maintained by a hypervisor to achieve direct memory access to memory of a second virtual storage director running in a different container. An address space is made available to the first virtual storage director. A first portion of the address space is associated with memory allocated to the first virtual storage director by the container. A second portion of the address space is mapped to memory allocated to the second virtual storage director.
