Abstract
A system and method for providing persistent node names is provided. The system and method stores the node name associated with a given storage system in the root volume associated with the storage system. Thus various components of the storage appliance may be modified without changing the node name associated with a given storage system. This enables clients to have a consistent and persistent node name to connect to in a given network environment.
