Abstract
Embodiments are described for systems and methods of reconfiguring logical units (LUN) in a network of SCSI target endpoints by defining a first bitmap associated with each LUN of a plurality of LUNs in the network, wherein each bit of the first bitmap represents an endpoint utilizing a corresponding LUN so that a bit pattern of the first bitmap represents a first set of endpoints utilizing the corresponding LUN, applying a lock to block I/O operations to the plurality of LUNs, updating the first bitmap to generate a second bitmap representing a second set of endpoints utilizing the corresponding LUN, and releasing the lock to update a LUN to endpoint mapping for the plurality of LUNS and the endpoints in a single update operation.
