  • Method and system for managing storage for virtual machines
    Patent number: 8869145
    Abstract: Method and system is provided to correlate a virtual hard disk file or a pass through disk to a storage drive that is presented to a user via a virtual machine. A data structure is generated that associates a virtual hard disk path or a pass through disk identifier with a unique identifier of a virtual storage controller and a location of the drive as maintained by an operating system of a computing system where the virtual machine is executed. The unique identifier and the location are then used to correlate a storage drive to a virtual hard disk path or a pass through disk.
