Abstract
Techniques for restricting access to a storage volume attached to a data processing system are described. In one embodiment, a storage management and access control logic in the data processing system can receive a message indicating the attachment of a storage volume. The logic can apply access restrictions to the storage volume by creating an association between a restricted resource class and the storage volume to limit programmatic access to the storage volume. An evaluation of the storage volume can be requested and based on the result of the evaluation the access restrictions can be removed or retained on the storage volume.
