1. A method of operating a data management system, comprising:
- a virtual machine agent running within a virtual machine responding to an attach-triggering event;
determining selected storage volumes to be attached to the virtual machine based on a request generated by the virtual agent in response to the attach-triggering event; and
dynamically attaching the selected storage volumes to the virtual machine.

11. A data management system, comprising:
-
a plurality of storage volumes; a hypervisor configured to operate a plurality of virtual machines having secondary storage volumes, wherein the virtual machines include virtual machine agent running which start based on an attach-triggering event; and a virtual machine manager configured to identify selected storage volumes to be attached to the plurality of virtual machines based on a request generated by the virtual agent in response to the attach-triggering event, wherein the hypervisor is configured to dynamically attach the storage volumes to the secondary storage volumes associated with the plurality of virtual machines. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
