METHOD, SYSTEM, AND ARTICLE OF MANUFACTURE FOR THE DETECTION OF MISDIRECTED DATA

摘要

Provided are a method, system and article of manufacture, wherein in certain embodiments an I/O command from a host is received at a first storage unit. An identifier is generated that identifies a destination to which the I/O command is to be transmitted from the first storage unit. The I/O command is augmented with the generated identifier at the first storage unit. The augmented I/O command is transmitted. In certain other embodiments, an I/O command is received at a storage unit, wherein the storage unit is associated with a storage unit identifier. A determination is made at the storage unit, whether the I/O command is associated with an identifier that identifies a destination for which the I/O command is intended. A further determination is made, at the storage unit, whether the identifier is the same as the storage unit identifier, in response to determining that the identifier associated with the I/O command identifies the destination for which the I/O command is intended.
