Method and system are provided for managing components of a storage operating environment having a plurality of virtual machines that can access a storage device managed by a storage system. The virtual machines are executed by a host platform that also executes a processor-executable host services module that interfaces with at least a processor-executable plug-in module for providing information regarding the virtual machines and assists in storage related services, for example, replicating the virtual machines.

Method and system for providing storage services

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.
