Abstract:

Methods, computer systems, and computer readable medium are described. In a particular embodiment, a storage controller is configured to receive, from a host computing device, a request to perform a bulk array task and in response to receiving the request, store an indication relating old keys of a mapping table to new keys, wherein both the old keys and the new keys correspond to the request. The storage controller is also configured to convey a response indicating completing of the request without prior access of user data and update the mapping table to replace the old keys with the new keys.
