Patent attributes
An apparatus includes at least one processing device configured to identify a logical storage volume stored across multiple storage nodes of a distributed storage system, to obtain from each of one or more of the storage nodes locality information for one or more different portions of the logical storage volume, the locality information for a given one of the portions indicating whether or not the given portion of the logical storage volume is local to a particular storage node, and to utilize the obtained locality information in performing path selection for one or more input-output operations targeting the logical storage volume. Obtaining from each of one or more of the storage nodes locality information for one or more different portions of the logical storage volume illustratively comprises, for a given such storage node, obtaining the locality information from one or more log pages maintained by the storage node.
