Abstract
An apparatus comprises at least one processing device that includes a processor coupled to a memory. The processing device is configured to receive in a host device, for a plurality of targets of a storage system, corresponding discovery log pages, to extract from the received discovery log pages respective storage tags for respective ones of the targets, and to control path selection for delivery of input-output operations from the host device to the targets based at least in part on the extracted storage tags. The targets illustratively comprise NVMe targets configured to store data of a plurality of logical storage volumes comprising respective NVMe namespaces of the storage system. In some embodiments, each of the storage tags indicates a failure domain of the corresponding target, such as a particular storage node, physical server or subnetwork of a storage system.
