Abstract
Data storage systems of a cluster associate virtual volumes (VVols) with protocol endpoints (PEs) organized into host-specific initiator groups. From the perspective of the hosts, the PEs are specialized SCSI LUNs that aggregate the VVols bound thereto. In operation, a host directs VVol access requests to the host-specific PEs, and a data storage system processes the VVol requests as received via the corresponding PEs.
