Abstract
Embodiments presented herein enable non-volatile memory express (NVMe®) subsystem-driven zoning. By configuring subsystems as pull devices, subsystems can request a centralized discovery controller to perform fabric zoning operations. Embodiments may leverage a command execution request architecture to achieve the subsystem-driven pull registration functionality. In one or more embodiments, a zone group identifier is used to identify the specific zone group of interest, and a transaction identifier may be used for correlating various communications to the fabric zoning operation. In one or more embodiments, locking may be performed on zone groups to maintain control of changes to zone groups.
