PSEUDO-VOLUME FOR CONTROL AND STATISTICS OF A STORAGE CONTROLLER
First Claim
1. An interface between at least one host and a storage controller operational in a data storage subsystem established by a processor device, the interface comprising:
- a pseudo-volume, mappable to the at least one host and mountable as a filesystem, wherein the pseudo-volume is adapted for performing at least one of;
providing diagnostic and statistical data representative of the data storage subsystem to the at least one host, andfacilitating control of at least one parameter of the storage controller.

Abstract
Exemplary method, system, and computer program embodiments for facilitating information between at least one host and a storage controller operational in a data storage subsystem are provided. In one embodiment, a pseudo-volume, mappable to the at least one host and mountable as a filesystem, is initialized. The pseudo-volume is adapted for performing at least one of providing diagnostic and statistical data representative of the data storage subsystem to the at least one host, and facilitating control of at least one parameter of the storage controller.
