  • (a) running, in the host, management facade software that controls data passing between the driver software and the storage device and that retrieves attributes of the data service;

    (b) running, in the host, a federated bean that exports an interface containing methods that generate commands to the management facade;

    (c) using the lookup service to obtain a proxy to the federated bean; and
