ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus are disclosed which provide users with access to logical volumes stored on one or more of a plurality of storage elements in a computer storage system. A logical volume identifier which is unique for the accessed logical volume is used for providing access. The logical volume identifier can be used both for translation to a host configuration address and for translation to a physical storage location address.
