ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for generating, maintaining, and using merged partitions to process requests of one or more host systems to storage partitions of one or more storage elements. Each merged partition maps to one or more storage partitions defined within one or more of the storage elements. The storage elements may be combined to form a storage complex. Each storage element of the storage complex may include one or more storage volumes, such as an array of storage volumes. A system includes a map processor and an interface controller. The map processor is configured for mapping the storage partitions of each storage element to generate one or more merged partitions. The interface controller is communicatively connected to the host systems and to the map processor for processing the requests of the host systems to the storage volumes based on the merged partitions.
