Zusammenfassung:	A method for smart mounting of a storage device to a server may be provided. The method comprises providing a first peer-to-peer communication component to a first server a first storage device is controlled by, and providing a second peer-to-peer communication component to a second server a second storage device is controlled by. The method also comprises requesting, by said second server, a mounting of said first storage device of said first server using a direct communication between said first peer-to-peer communication component, and said second peer-to-peer communication component using a peer-to-peer communication protocol between said first and said second peer-to-peer communication component without using a central instance between said first and said second server, and providing mounting information of said first storage device to said second peer-to-peer communication component without using said central instance.
