Examples include registration with a storage networking repository via a network interface device driver independent of a storage initiator. Some examples include registration with a storage networking repository, provision of a state change registration to the storage network device, and acquisition of login information for storage targets from the storage networking repository, each via a network interface device driver and independent of a storage initiator and a storage protocol driver.
