Claim 1:
2. The method of claim 1, wherein in response to determining that a protocol endpoint having an assigned QoS policy corresponding to the QoS policy associated with the target virtual volume does exist:
selecting, by the data storage system, an existing protocol endpoint from the plurality of protocol endpoints, which is determined to have an assigned QoS policy which corresponds to the QoS policy associated with the target virtual volume;
binding, by the data storage system, the selected protocol endpoint to the target virtual volume;
sending, by the data storage system, a unique identifier of the selected protocol endpoint, which is bound to the target virtual volume, to the host system; and
utilizing, by the data storage system, the selected protocol endpoint, which is bound to the target virtual volume, as a logical input/output proxy that is configured to handle data access requests received from the host system for accessing the target virtual volume.
