Abstract

A method for managing a storage includes applying, by a host, a first type of snapshot service to the LU of the storage, wherein the LU is identified by a logical unit number (LUN), in response to applying the first snapshot service, making a first determination that the LU is not visible to the host, wherein the host is operationally coupled to the storage and the first snapshot service continues to be applied to the LU, in response to the first determination, discontinuing applying the first type of snapshot service to the LU, and when the first snapshot service is no longer applied to the LU, applying, by the host, a second type of snapshot service to the LU.
