Abstract

Providing access to a data storage resource. A storage subsystem comprising one or more storage address units and is associated with one or more access interfaces is identified. An address-interface correlation guideline is identified that defines a combination of rules that govern which access interfaces are used to access storage address units. A target address unit identification is received from a requesting system. A processor determines which storage address units a requesting system requests to access to based on the received target address unit identification. The target address unit identification is associated with at least one of the storage address units. The requesting system is provided with access to the storage address units using access interfaces that are determined based on a target interface conclusion.
