1. A method, comprising:
creating a first storage partition having a first partition identifier, the first partition identifier including a partition set identifier and a first node identifier, the first node identifier being associated with a first node;
creating a second storage partition having a second partition identifier, the second partition identifier including the partition set identifier and a second node identifier, the second node identifier being associated with a second node;
detecting a type-1 command that includes the partition set identifier;
executing the type-1 command based on the partition set identifier, wherein executing the type-1 command includes: (i) transmitting to the first node a first instruction to mount an unspecified partition, the first instruction including the partition set identifier as a parameter, and (ii) transmitting to the second node a second instruction to mount an unspecified partition, the second instruction including the partition set identifier as a parameter;
in response to the first instruction, mounting the first storage partition at the first node, the mounting of the first storage partition being performed by: retrieving the first node identifier from a memory of the first node, combining the retrieved first node identifier with the partition set identifier to produce a first resulting identifier, and invoking, by the first node, a type-2 command based on the first resulting identifier; and
in response to the second instruction, mounting the second storage partition at the second node, the mounting of the second storage partition being performed by: retrieving the second node identifier from a memory of the second node, combining the retrieved second node identifier with the partition set identifier to produce a second resulting identifier, and invoking, by the second node, the type-2 command based on the second resulting identifier.
