Abstract
A technique of managing virtual volumes includes receiving, by a storage system, instructions to create specified virtual volumes in the storage system, the instructions including virtual volume metadata that identifies virtual machines to which the specified virtual volumes are assigned, and providing a database that associates such virtual volumes with the virtual machines identified by the virtual volume metadata. The technique further includes performing a storage activity on a virtual machine by identifying, from the database, multiple virtual volumes that the database associates with the virtual machine and performing the storage activity on all of the identified virtual volumes together as a group.
