Abstract
A method for facilitating a connection to a storage volume, that includes receiving, by a storage manager, an access request from compute node, where the access request includes a storage volume identifier associated with the storage volume, performing a lookup, in a target database, to identify a target entry that includes the storage volume identifier, making a first determination that the target database does not comprise the target entry, and based on the first determination, creating a first storage target cluster for the storage volume, and sending first connection instructions to the compute node, where the first connection instructions comprise a first storage target cluster identifier associated with the first storage target cluster.
