Abstract
Disclosed herein are various systems and methods for sharing a storage device with multiple virtual machines are disclosed. One such method involves creating a pseudo-identity for a storage device and assigning a portion of an address space of the storage device to a virtual machine using the pseudo-identity. The storage device is coupled to a computing device and the pseudo-identity is created by a hypervisor associated with the computing device. The pseudo-identity facilitates access to the storage device by the virtual machine associated with the hypervisor and also facilitates presentation of one or more physical characteristics of the storage device to the virtual machine. The method also assigns a portion of an address space of the storage device to the virtual machine using the pseudo-identity.
