<p>An input/output (I/O) device includes at least one communication port; at least one storage device attached to the I/O device and is configured to provide a storage volume; and an I/O manager configured to manage operations of the I/O device. The I/O manager is configured to receive a request to create a new logical volume, create a new logical volume on the storage device based on the request, and define a first relationship between the created logical volume and a virtual I/O instance based on the request. The virtual I/O instance is a virtual access point for enabling a computer system connected to the I/O device via the communication port to access the created logical volume.</p> |
