Summary:Provided are a computer product, method, and system to dynamically provide discovery services for host nodes of target systems and storage resources in a network. Discover on storage resources available at target systems. An access control list indicates subsets of the host nodes that can access the storage resources at the target systems. A query is received from a requesting host node comprising one of the host nodes for 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 storage resources the requesting host node is provisioned to access, wherein the requesting host node establishes a connection with the target systems indicated in the returned host discovery information to access the storage resources the requesting host node is provisioned to access indicated in the access control list.
