COALESCING CONFIGURATION ENGINE, COALESCING CONFIGURATION TOOL AND FILE SYSTEM FOR STORAGE SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for a storage system, the storage system comprising at least one initiator, each initiator accessing a corresponding storage space in the storage system via at least one virtual logic unit number LUN, the method comprising:
- executing in parallel a plurality of configuration operations, wherein each configuration operation of the plurality of configuration operations is used to configure a mapping between at least one virtual LUN and at least one initiator.
