Abstract
Methods and systems for a storage system are provided. One method includes obtaining network interface information by a processor executable plugin executed by a computing device from a storage system node managing stored information; filtering logical interface information based on a protocol used by a processor executable application that uses the storage system node to store information; obtaining aliases for the logical interface information, when available; and storing the filtered logical interface information and associated aliases at a network identifier cache managed by the plugin; wherein the network identifier cache is used by the plugin to verify network interface information as associated with a data path for a data container stored at a storage device.
