Target discovery extension using log page storage tags

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code when executed by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory, causes the at least one processing device:

• to receive in a host device, for a plurality of targets of a storage system, corresponding discovery log pages;
• to extract from the received discovery log pages respective storage tags for respective ones of the targets;
• and
• to control path selection for delivery of input-output operations from the host device to the targets based at least in part on the extracted storage tags;
• wherein the extracted storage tags are utilized by the host device to match at least portions of respective multiple discovery log pages received for respective different targets to a same failure domain of the storage system.
