Efficient mapping for LUNs in storage memory with holes in address space

Abstract:

A method for mapping LUNs (logical unit numbers) in storage memory, performed by a storage system, is provided. The method includes determining a set of LUNs in the storage memory and generating a mapping from a logical address space to all of the LUNs in the set, based on the determining, so that each logical address in the logical address space maps to one LUN in the set. The method includes accessing one or more of the LUNs in accordance with the mapping.
