1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a receiving storage system interface of a storage system comprising a plurality of storage system interfaces, a discovery connection request from a given host interface;
transforming, by the receiving storage system interface, an identifier of a host device associated with the given host interface to obtain an identifier of a given one of the plurality of storage system interfaces;
determining, by the receiving storage system interface, that the identifier of the given one of the plurality of storage system interfaces identifies the receiving storage system interface; and
in response to the identifier of the given one of the plurality of storage system interfaces identifying the receiving storage system interface, the receiving storage system interface performs the following steps:
providing a persistent discovery connection to the given host interface; and
providing discovery information to the given host interface identifying a set of available storage system interfaces;
wherein the method is performed by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.
