Host Management of NVM Express™ Exported NVM Subsystems in PCIe™ SSDs
This presentation explains how an NVMe™ PCIe SSD supporting multiple NVMe controllers can be used to create and migrate virtual NVMe SSDs (i.e., Exported NVM Subsystems). The commands used by a host managing these virtual SSDs are fully illustrated using animation and demonstrates the interoperability between different SSD vendors during migration. Come and see how the virtual NVMe SSD is abstracted from the underlying NVMe SSD for the migrating Virtual Machine.
