Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to transmitting prioritized path data to a device based on a set of topology rules and metrics associated with a storage target. A storage target path discovery request is received from the device. In response to the storage target path discovery request, metrics associated with the storage target are collected. Based on the collected metrics, available paths to the storage target are identified. A set of topology rules are then determined. Based on the topology rules and the collected metrics, a subset of available paths are selected. The subset of available paths are then prioritized into prioritized path data. The prioritized path data is then stored and transmitted to the device.
