The intermediary device is in operable communication with the host, LU, and DPA and is configured to receive read and write instructions from the DPA and to ensure that I/O's passing through the intermediary device to at least one of the LU and the DPA, in response to the reads and writes, are formatted to a first predetermined standard, for at least one of the LU and the DPA.
