Abstract
Storage resource management in virtualized environments is provided. In this regard, when receiving a request for accessing a target general purpose partition (GPP) in a storage device, partition switching circuitry is configured to determine whether the target GPP equals a current GPP that is accessed by a list of existing requests. The partition switching circuitry adds the request into the list of existing requests if the target GPP equals the current GPP. Otherwise, the partition switching circuitry waits for the list of existing requests to be executed on the current GPP before switching to the target GPP to execute the request received from a client. By switching to the target GPP after executing the list of existing commands on the current GPP, it is possible to share a plurality of GPPs among multiple clients in a virtualized environment while maintaining data integrity and security in the storage device.
