Abstract: One or more storage systems are connected to one or more storage boxes comprising multiple storage devices. Multiple storage areas provided by one or more storage boxes include an allocated area, which is a storage area that is allocated to a virtual volume, and an empty area, which is a storage area that is not allocated to any logical volume.

Abstract: An adaptive memory expansion scheme is proposed, where one or more memory expansion capable Hosts or Accelerators can have their memory mapped to one or more memory expansion devices. The embodiments below describe discovery, configuration, and mapping schemes that allow independent SCM implementations and CPU-Host implementations to match their memory expansion capabilities. As a result, a memory expansion host (e.g., a memory controller in a CPU or an Accelerator) can declare multiple logical memory expansion pools, each with a unique capacity. These logical memory pools can be matched to physical memory in the SCM cards using windows in a global address map. These windows represent shared memory for the Home Agents (HAs) (e.g., the Host) and the Slave Agent (SAs) (e.g., the memory expansion device).
