  • Attaching storage resources to virtual machine instances
    Patent number: 11204792
    Abstract: A data processing system includes one or more computer systems, each executing at least one hypervisor. Host bus adapters on the computer system are connectable to storage resources in at least one storage area network. The at least one hypervisor provides virtual instances of the host bus adapters as virtual host bus adapters, and a world-wide unique port number and a logical unit number are used to access a storage volume. A globally unique identifier is used to identify the storage volume. The system includes a management server comprising a management instance for evaluating a possibility of attaching storage resources to virtual machine instances generated by the hypervisor.
