Abstract
A controller of a data storage system reconfigures a target storage node within the data storage system including by assigning the target storage node a new target node name in place of a former target node name. The controller provides a reconfiguration notification, the former target node name, and the new target node name to a host platform having an ongoing first communication session with the target storage node. Following the reconfiguration notification, the controller responds to a login request of the host platform and establishes a new second communication session between the host platform and the target storage node. The host platform can logout of the now-stale first communication session after the second communication session is established.
