SYSTEMS, DEVICES, APPARATUS, AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING STORED DATA BY A DEVICE LOCATED IN A PATH BETWEEN VIRTUAL FIBRE CHANNEL SWITCHES AND PERFORMING A DATA MANAGEMENT SERVICE
A first port of a device is connected to a first switch port of a first virtual switch defined within a switch device and a second port of the device is connected to a second switch port of a second virtual switch defined within the switch device. A target world wide port name of a target port of a storage system connected to the second virtual switch is identified by the device. The first port of the device is registered, in a first registration procedure, with the first virtual switch based on the target world wide port name. Registration information relating to an initiator port of a server that is associated with the target port is received in a second registration procedure. An initiator world wide port name of the initiator port of the server is determined based on the registration information. A storage volume in the storage system that is associated with the initiator port is identified based on the initiator world wide port name of the initiator port.
