The invention is directed to techniques for providing security in data storage systems that provide access to data by other systems, such as host computer systems. A data access manager generates access tokens that it assigns to storage locations that store data in one or more data storage assemblies in the data storage system. A host that makes a request to access specific storage locations having data must obtain an access token associated with those storage locations from the data access manager, and provide the access token with the request to the data storage system. The data storage system then authenticates the request based on the access token.

A method of storing data to one of a first or second storage device associated with a data storage system where each storage device provides for the redundant access to and storage of data within the same logical data volumes. The method of storing data consists of defining a storage construct which will direct the performance of a specific storage function. The storage construct is then associated with a logical data volume. The method further consists of mounting the logical data volume residing on one of the two storage devices and executing a storage function in accordance with the storage construct. The storage construct may be defined by a command issued by a host associated with the data storage system. Alternatively, the storage construct may be defined by a user of the data storage system through a user interface. The storage function which is directed by the defined storage construct may consist of selecting which one of the first and second storage devices will execute input/output (I/O) commands received from the data storage system for a particular logical data volume mount. Alternatively, the storage function may consist of determining whether data stored to a logical data volume physically associated with one of the storage devices will be copied to the other storage device. Other storage functions can be directed by a storage construct.

The system and routine for data caching leverages the properties of Network-Attached Non-Volatile Memories (NANVMs) to provide virtualized secure node-local storage services to the network users with reduced data movement across the NANVMs. The caching routine reserves storage resources (storage partitions) on NANVM devices, migrates data required for the target application execution to the allocated storage partitions, and directs the network clients to dynamically “mount” to the storage partitions based on application data requirements. Only those clients and applications that present valid credentials and satisfactory computing capabilities can access the data in the specific storage partitions. Several clients can have an access to the same storage partitions without duplication or replicating the data. A Global Data Indexing sub-system supports the efficient operation of the subject system. The Global Data Indexing Sub-System provides mapping between the storage partitions, data sets, applications, client nodes, as well as their credentials/capabilities.
