Abstract
A storage array in one embodiment is configured to communicate over one or more networks with a plurality of host devices. The storage array is further configured to detect process tags assigned to respective input-output operations by a given one of the host devices, the process tags being of at least first and second distinct types so as to distinguish at least respective first and second distinct processes generating corresponding ones of the input-output operations on the given host device. Responsive to a particular one of the detected process tags being of the first type, the storage array provides a first level of priority for processing of the corresponding input-output operation, and responsive to a particular one of the detected process tags being of the second type, the storage array provides a second level of priority different than the first level of priority for processing of the corresponding input-output operation.
