An apparatus comprises at least one processing device that includes a processor coupled to a memory. The at least one processing device is configured to send commands from a host device to respective ones of a plurality of storage targets of a storage system over a network, to receive in response to the commands, from each of the storage targets, a corresponding storage target data structure that comprises in one or more fields thereof a fault domain identifier of that storage target, to extract the fault domain identifiers of the respective storage targets from the received storage target data structures, and to store the extracted fault domain identifiers of the respective storage targets in the host device in association with network addresses of the respective storage targets. The extracted fault domain identifiers are illustratively utilized in the host device to generate fault domain connectivity information and/or to perform path selection.
An apparatus comprising:
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:
