Abstract
Storage domains respectively have associated configurable storage management properties that are separate from individual physical capabilities of physical storage resources available through a SAN. Logical volumes are created and allocated to hosts in the context of the storage domains. The presentation of such logical volumes to hosts accommodates storage resource access by hosts without requiring the hosts to be configured according to the requirements of the physical storage resources. Furthermore, allocation of logical volumes to hosts in the context of the storage domains entails provision of storage resources according to the respective storage management properties of the storage domains even though the logical volumes are created from physical storage resources in common.
