摘要: A virtualized storage adapter architecture and method is provided wherein lower level details of the are isolated from an operating system its applications that execute on a virtualization architecture. This isolation may be performed, for example, by providing virtual backed one or more physical adapters. The referenced globally unique identifier. For World Wide Node Name (WWNN). In another changes made to underlying configuration without need in interface applications.
