US 2014/0207834 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SCALABLE STORAGE NAME SERVER INFRASTRUCTURE

Abstract

In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method may include extracting identities of one or more hosts from a storage resource-to-host mapping database associated with a storage resource. The method may also include, for each of the one or more hosts: computing a discovery domain unique identifier based on the host unique identifier, determining if the discovery domain unique identifier is present in a discovery domain database associated with the storage resource, and adding a storage resource unique identifier of the storage resource to an entry of the discovery domain database associated with the storage resource.
