Disclosed herein are various systems, methods, and processes for sharing a storage device with multiple virtual machines. A pseudo-identity is created for a storage device. Information in a hypervisor is configured to modify a response to a command issued to the storage device by a virtual machine. Physical characteristics of the storage device are determined and it is also determined whether the physical characteristics are acceptable. If the physical characteristics are acceptable, a virtual disk associated with the virtual machine is used. If the physical characteristics are unacceptable, a mapping of the virtual machine is migrated to another storage device.
