A host may be coupled to a fabric network. Fabric devices attached to the fabric
network may be visible to the host through one or more host adapter ports. The
host system may include a device centric discovery interface configured to provide
an interface to a fabric driver to obtain information about the devices in the
fabric network. The device centric discovery interface may be configured to return
device centric discovery information such that a multi-path fabric device is presented
as a single device with transport information provided for each path to the multi-path
device. A device centric configuration interface may provide an interface to the
fabric driver for device centric configuration of the devices in the fabric for
use by the host such that a requested fabric device is configured for use by the
host on multiple paths in the fabric network.
