 The ``undeploy`` method destroys the remote execution environment, potentially cleaning up all the temporary resources instantiated during the workflow execution (e.g., intermediate results). If a ``deployment`` object is marked as ``external``, the ``undeploy`` method should not destroy it but just close all the connections opened by the ``deploy`` method.
 
-The ``get_available_locations`` method is used in the scheduling phase to obtain the locations available for job execution, identified by their unique name (see :ref:`here <Scheduling>`). The method receives some optional input parameters to filter valid locations. The ``service`` parameter specifies a specific set of locations in a deployment, and its precise meaning differs for each deployment type (see :ref:`here <Binding steps and deployments>`). The other three parameters (``input_directory``, ``output_directory``, and ``tmp_directory``) allow the ``Connector`` to return correct disk usage values for each of the three folders in case of remote instances with multiple volumes attached.
+The ``get_available_locations`` method is used in the scheduling phase to obtain the locations available for job execution, identified by their unique name (see :ref:`here <Scheduling>`). The method receives some optional input parameters to filter valid locations. The ``service`` parameter specifies a specific set of locations in a deployment, and its precise meaning differs for each deployment type (see :ref:`here <Binding steps and deployments>`). The ``storage`` parameter allows the ``Connector`` to return correct disk usage values for each of the folders in the list in case of remote instances with multiple volumes attached.
 
 The ``get_stream_reader`` method returns a ``StreamWrapperContextManager`` instance, which allows the ``src`` data on the ``location`` to be read using a stream (see :ref:`here <Streaming>`). The stream must be read respecting the size of the available buffer, which is defined by the ``transferBufferSize`` attribute of the ``Connector`` instance. This method improve performance of data copies between pairs of remote locations.

 The ``undeploy`` method destroys the remote execution environment, potentially cleaning up all the temporary resources instantiated during the workflow execution (e.g., intermediate results). If a ``deployment`` object is marked as ``external``, the ``undeploy`` method should not destroy it but just close all the connections opened by the ``deploy`` method.
 
-The ``get_available_locations`` method is used in the scheduling phase to obtain the locations available for job execution, identified by their unique name (see :ref:`here <Scheduling>`). The method receives some optional input parameters to filter valid locations. The ``service`` parameter specifies a specific set of locations in a deployment, and its precise meaning differs for each deployment type (see :ref:`here <Binding steps and deployments>`). The ``storage`` parameter allows the ``Connector`` to return correct disk usage values for each of the folders in the list in case of remote instances with multiple volumes attached.

The method receives some optional input parameters to filter valid locations.

The ``directories`` parameter allows the ``Connector`` to return correct disk usage values for each of the folders in the list in case of remote instances with multiple volumes attached.
 
 The ``get_stream_reader`` method returns a ``StreamWrapperContextManager`` instance, which allows the ``src`` data on the ``location`` to be read using a stream (see :ref:`here <Streaming>`). The stream must be read respecting the size of the available buffer, which is defined by the ``transferBufferSize`` attribute of the ``Connector`` instance. This method improve performance of data copies between pairs of remote locations.
