Estimating the term…
Systems and methods provide zero-configuration provisioning for modern storage networks such as those utilizing a non-volatile memory express over Fabric (NVMe-oF) system. In various embodiments, this is accomplished by leveraging discovery information, such as multicast Domain Name System (mDNS) information, to locate subsystems in a network and to explicitly and dynamically specify target destinations without a Centralized Discovery Controller (CDC) client having to modify its routing table.
A computer-implemented method for using a centralized discovery controller (CDC) client to dynamically establish network connections in a non-volatile memory express over Fabric (NVMe-oF) system, the method comprising:
A system for using a centralized discovery controller (CDC) client to dynamically update a destination database in a non-volatile memory express over Fabric (NVMe-oF) system, the system comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium or media comprising one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, causes steps to be performed comprising:
The non-transitory computer-readable medium or media of claim 19, wherein the NVMe-oF data transport protocol command comprises an multicast Domain Name System (mDNS) query.
