Abstract
A method and a storage system are provided for accessing volumes. The storage system provisions to a host, a place holder handle configured for allowing access to any volume selected by the host and allowed to be accessed by the host. The volume forms part of accessible volumes included in the storage system. The storage system receives from the host a first request for associating the place holder handle with a first selected volume from among the accessible volumes and enables the host to access the first selected volume in response to receiving an access request indicative of the place holder handle.
