For example, establishing a configuration domain filtering instance in the storage system responsive to the received command illustratively comprises activating a configuration domain filtering feature of the storage system, utilizing the provided at least one configuration domain identifier, for subsequent provision of filtered discovery information from a target of the storage system to an initiator of a given host.
