Abstract

An illustrative data storage system establishes path sets that represent relationships between service layer entities and storage layer entities associated with service layer entities. The data storage system coordinates, based on the path sets and on operations applied to one or more of the service layer entities, implementation of the operations on the storage layer entities. The path sets may be used to support implementation of snapshots, space accounting, and/or other operations of the data storage system.
