Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus to interface with storage objects are provided. A storage object handle is provided on request and a storage object is mapped within a first storage environment. Further, a configuration identifier notifies client modules when the storage object's physical locations are altered in the first storage environment. API libraries provide client modules access to use the storage object, even when the client modules reside in a second storage environment.
