Abstract
A data storage manager may manage storage locations for blocks of a storage volume. The blocks of the storage volume may be assigned to a logical volume exposed to a computing instance supported by a host. Furthermore, the data storage manager may also generate and maintain a set of rules that specify the locations of blocks of the storage volume, and provides the set of rules to the host. The set of rules may be included in a data structure enabling the host to access the blocks based at least in part on the information included in the set of rules.
