Abstract
In some examples, fabric driven NVMe subsystem zoning may include receiving, from a non-volatile memory express (NVMe) Name Server (NNS), a zoning specification that includes an indication of a host that is to communicate with a given NVMe subsystem of an NVMe storage domain. Based on the zoning specification, the host may be designated as being permitted to connect to the given NVMe subsystem of the NVMe storage domain. An NVMe connect command may be received from the host. Based on the designation and an analysis of the NVMe connect command, a connection may be established between the given NVMe subsystem of the NVMe storage domain and the host.
