Abstract:
A method and apparatus for accessing a virtualized storage volume are described. At least one volume map is copied to a virtualization switch prior to an application requesting access to a storage volume via the virtualization switch, where the volume map facilitates mapping the storage volume access request to an appropriate physical storage device and is copied from a source external to the virtualization switch.
