US Patent 10921991 Rule invalidation for a block store management system

Notice of migration of a portion of a data volume from a first location to a second location is received by a first computer system from a second computer system, where the data volume is separated over a network from the first computer system. A third computer system, separated over a network from the first computer system, is caused to invalidate a mapping between the portion and the first location. An indication that the third computer system seeks access to the portion is identified. A third computer system is enabled, by providing a mapping between the portion and the second location, to access portion at the second location.
