Abstract

Examples include distribution of I/O Q-connections of an NVMe™ subsystem among hosts that are to communicate with the NVMe™ subsystem in an NVMe™ zone of a system. Some examples receive information including a number of I/O Q-connections available at the NVMe™ subsystem, register the number of available I/O Q-connections of the NVMe™ subsystem with an NVMe™ fabric controller, determine a number of I/O Q-connections of the NVMe™ subsystem allowed to be used by each host and send to, each host, a first notification including the number of allowed I/O Q-connections of the NVMe™ subsystem to be used by the host.
