Automated seamless migration across access protocols for a logical storage device

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code, when executed by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory and configured to communicate over a network with a storage system, causes said at least one processing device:

• to store a first version of an operating system data structure comprising a first identifier of a logical storage device, the first identifier being assigned to the logical storage device in accordance with a first access protocol;
• and
• in conjunction with migration of the logical storage device from utilization of the first access protocol to utilization of a second access protocol different than the first access protocol:
• to temporarily continue to present device-identifying information from the first version of the operating system data structure in response to one or more access requests relating to the logical storage device;
• to obtain a second identifier of the logical storage device, the second identifier being assigned to the logical storage device in accordance with the second access protocol;
• to store a second version of the operating system data structure comprising the second identifier of the logical storage device;
• and
• to switch, from presenting device-identifying information from the first version of the operating system data structure in response to the one or more access requests relating to the logical storage device, to presenting device-identifying information from the second version of the operating system data structure in response to one or more additional access requests relating to the logical storage device.

A method comprising:

• storing a first version of an operating system data structure comprising a first identifier of a logical storage device, the first identifier being assigned to the logical storage device in accordance with a first access protocol;
• and
• in conjunction with migration of the logical storage device from utilization of the first access protocol to utilization of a second access protocol different than the first access protocol:
• temporarily continuing to present device-identifying information from the first version of the operating system data structure in response to one or more access requests relating to the logical storage device;
• obtaining a second identifier of the logical storage device, the second identifier being assigned to the logical storage device in accordance with the second access protocol;
• storing a second version of the operating system data structure comprising the second identifier of the logical storage device;
• and
• switching, from presenting device-identifying information from the first version of the operating system data structure in response to the one or more access requests relating to the logical storage device, to presenting device-identifying information from the second version of the operating system data structure in response to one or more additional access requests relating to the logical storage device;
• wherein the method is performed by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.
