Abstract
Described are techniques for managing a federated namespace of a data storage system federation. A node identifier is assigned to a node. The node identifier uniquely identifies the node in the data storage system federation and is included in a federated node identifier namespace. A portion of a federated target port identifier namespace may be associated with the node identifier. The portion may include target port identifiers reserved from the federated target port identifier namespace for the node. Data storage management information for the data storage system federation may be updated to indicate that the node identifier is allocated from the federated node identifier namespace and that the portion of the federated target port identifier namespace is assigned to the node identifier.
