Abstract
A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes establishing, by an initiator, a discovery session type. A request is sent by the initiator for identifying a target. The request includes an identity key value pair that specifies at least one target identity, and a target characteristic key value pair that specifies a target characteristic. A response is received by the initiator from a target matching the key value pairs. The response includes path information of the target. In response to receiving the response the target is connected to by the initiator using the path information. A computer program product for establishing a connection between an initiator and a target according to one embodiment includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are readable and/or executable by an initiator to cause the initiator to perform the foregoing method.
