Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to transmitting prioritized path data to a device based on a set of topology rules and metrics associated with a storage target. A storage target path discovery request is received from the device. In response to the storage target path discovery request, metrics associated with the storage target are collected. Based on the collected metrics, available paths to the storage target are identified. A set of topology rules are then determined. Based on the topology rules and the collected metrics, a subset of available paths are selected. The subset of available paths are then prioritized into prioritized path data. The prioritized path data is then stored and transmitted to the device.

Claim (Index 18):
A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:\n receiving, from a device, a storage target path discovery request; collecting, in response to the storage target path discovery request, metrics associated with a storage target; identifying, based on the collected metrics, available paths to the storage target; determining a set of topology rules, wherein determining the set of topology rules further comprises determining a threshold minimum number of storage nodes; selecting, based on the topology rules and the collected metrics, a subset of the available paths, wherein paths in the subset of available paths are selected based on the paths in the subset including at least the threshold minimum number of storage nodes; prioritizing, based on the topology rules and the collected metrics, the subset of the available paths into a prioritized path data, wherein prioritizing includes ordering the subset of available paths according to the topology rules; storing the prioritized path data; transmitting the prioritized path data to the device; receiving a port log-in request to a port of the storage target for at least one of the paths included in the prioritized path data; and establishing a connection for the at least one port log-in request.
