Abstract
Presented herein are embodiments for providing and using a symbolic name for referencing an element of a non-volatile memory express (NVMe™) entity in an NVMe™-over-Fabric (NVMe-oF™) environment. In one or more embodiments, the symbolic name may be used to identify an element of an NVMe™ host or NVM subsystem in one or more processes. In one or more embodiments, a symbolic name may be provided as part of a registration process.
