Abstract:
A storage system and method for namespace reservation in a multi-queue single-controller environment are provided. In one embodiment, a method for access control in a memory is performed in a storage system comprising a memory and a controller in communication with a plurality of hosts, wherein each host comprises its own set of input-output queues but only one host comprises an admin queue. The method comprises receiving a mapping that restricts access to portions of the memory to specific ones of the plurality of hosts, wherein the mapping is generated by the host that comprises the admin queue; and restricting access to the portions of the memory based on the mapping. Other embodiments are provided.

Claim (Index 9):
A system comprising:\n a first host comprising a first set of input-output queues and an admin queue; a second host comprising a second set of input-output queues but not an admin queue, wherein the second host shares the admin queue of the first host; a storage system comprising a controller and a memory; and a switch configured to allow communication between the first host, the second host, and the storage system; wherein the host is configured to use the admin queue to:\n create a first association between the first set of input-output queues and a first namespace in the memory, wherein the first association associates the first namespace with an identifier of the first set of input-output queues or a command identifier of the first host; and \n create a second association between the second set of input-output queues and a second namespace in the memory wherein the second association associates the second namespace with an identifier of the second set of input-output queues or a command identifier of the second host: \n wherein the controller of the storage system is configured to restrict access to the first and second namespaces in the memory to the first and second hosts, respectively, based on the first and second associations.
