Abstract
Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a management server receiving, from each of a plurality of switches, physical topology data of network nodes. The physical topology data includes identifiers of hosts connected to each of the switches and identifiers of storage connected to each of the switches. The management server transmits a query to each of the network nodes and receives, in response to each query, the capabilities of each network node. In response to receiving a request to create a cluster of the hosts, the management server selects hosts and storage from the physical topology data to create the cluster. The hosts and storage are selected based upon the capabilities received from each network node. The management server determines transport protocol login service parameters based upon the received storage capabilities and transmits the parameters to one or more of the plurality of switches, hosts, and storage.
