Claim 16:
17. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, from a workload hosted on a host of a cluster comprising a plurality of hosts, wherein the workload is recovered and launched by a hypervisor hosted on the same host, first I/O traffic of the recovered workload programmed according to a first I/O traffic protocol supported by a cluster-wide storage fabric shared across the plurality of hosts, the storage fabric exposed to the recovered workload as being hosted on the same host by a virtual disk controller which virtualizes storage resources of the storage fabric;
adapting the first I/O traffic to generate second I/O traffic of the recovered workload programmed according to a second I/O traffic protocol supported by a repository external to the storage fabric and the cluster of hosts, wherein the repository is not virtualized by the virtual disk controller; and
forwarding the second I/O traffic of the recovered workload to the repository.
