Abstract

Systems and methods provide zero-configuration provisioning for modern storage networks such as those utilizing a non-volatile memory express over Fabric (NVMe-oF) system. In various embodiments, this is accomplished by leveraging discovery information, such as multicast Domain Name System (mDNS) information, to locate subsystems in a network and to explicitly and dynamically specify target destinations without a Centralized Discovery Controller (CDC) client having to modify its routing table.
