Abstract
Improved path management techniques for storage networks are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a processor circuit, a detection component for execution by the processor circuit to receive an advertisement of a set of paths for accessing a logical storage volume and determine whether the set of paths comprises an optimized path, and a modification component for execution by the processor circuit to, when the set of paths does not comprise an optimized path, send a first instruction to update a reporting nodes parameter for the logical storage volume to identify an owner node for the logical storage volume and a corresponding partner node. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
