Abstract
Embodiments herein comprise a centralized NVMe-oF namespace masking and configuration repository, which may be referenced for convenience herein as a distributed configuration service (DCS). By centralizing the functionality, there is no longer a requirement that each host, network element, and subsystem have its own user interface (UI). DCS embodiments provide a single UI for a number of features, including but not limited to: (1) viewing the list of Host interfaces that are attached to the network and are registered; (2) viewing the list of Subsystem interfaces that are attached to the IP Network and are registered with the DCS; (3) viewing the storage capacity available behind each subsystem interface; and (4) allowing a user to define the Host to Subsystem interface relationships as well as define how much storage should be allocated to each Host.
