Abstract
Presented herein are systems and methods for facilitating access control among elements of a non-volatile memory express (NVMe™) entity in an NVMe™-over-Fabric (NVMe-oF) environment. In one or more embodiments, NVMe™ entities, whether NVMe™ hosts or NVMe™ subsystems, can obtain information about elements of NVMe™ entities that have registered with a centralized storage fabric service component via a discovery controller of the centralize service. In one or more embodiments, based upon information received from requesting NVMe™ entities, the centralized storage fabric service creates and maintains a data store of zones, in which a zone comprises a listing of elements of NVMe™ entities that are members of that zone and have access rights relative to other members of that zone.
