  • Patent number: 11429280
    Abstract: A computer product, method, and system to generate a virtual subsystem to process read and write requests to storage devices. A virtual controller is configured in a memory device to provide a representation of a controller in a computer system. At least one virtual storage is configured in the memory device. A virtual storage is assigned a quantity of physical storage configured in a plurality of storage devices, wherein the virtual storage maps to addresses in the quantity of physical storage. At least one virtual storage is assigned to a virtual controller. A host is assigned to the virtual storage assigned to the virtual controller. The host assigned the virtual storage is allowed to direct read and write requests to the quantity of physical storage assigned to the virtual storage.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10620840
    Abstract: Provided are a computer product, method, and system to generate a virtual subsystem to process read and write requests to storage devices. A virtual subsystem is configured in the memory to provide a representation of a subsystem presented to at least one host system. The at least one host system is to communicate with the virtual subsystem to access the at least one storage device. At least one virtual namespace is configured in the memory for the virtual subsystem. Each of the at least one virtual namespace maps to at least one physical namespace in at least one storage device. Each virtual namespace is assigned to one host system to use to direct read and write requests to the at least one physical namespace of the at least one storage device assigned to the virtual namespace.
