Abstract
A computer-implemented method for selectively discovering storage devices connected to a host computing device may include: 1) identifying at least one storage device connected to the host computing device that provides storage for at least one resource managed by the host computing device, 2) identifying a discovery classification assigned to the storage device that is based at least in part on an availability requirement associated with the resource, and then 3) discovering the storage device in accordance with the discovery classification assigned to the storage device. Various other methods, systems, and configured computer-readable media are also disclosed.
