    Abstract: Provided are a computer product, method, and system to virtualize target system storage resources as virtual target storage resources. Target storage resources available at a target system are discovered over a network. A configuration is determined of virtual target storage resources mapping to the target storage resources for a host node. The configuration is registered with a virtual target. The configuration maps the virtual target storage resources to the target storage resources at the target system and an access control list of the host node allowed to access the virtual target storage resources. A query is received from the host node for the target storage resources the host node is permitted to access according to the access control list. Host discovery information is returned to the requesting host node indicating the virtual target storage resources the requesting host node is provisioned to access from the virtual target.

    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, method, and system to transfer storage input/output (I/O) requests to host and target systems on different fabrics. An origination packet is received from an originating node over a first network to a destination node having a storage device. The origination packet includes a first fabric layer for transport through a first network, a command in a transport protocol with a storage Input/Output (I/O) request, with respect to the storage device at the destination node, and a host memory address. A destination packet is constructed including a second fabric layer for transport through a second network and the command in the transport protocol to send the storage I/O request and a transfer memory address that maps to the host memory address. The destination packet is sent over the second network to the destination node to perform the storage I/O request.
