Storage system and method for automatic ethernet storage discovery

A method includes: running a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) client in a storage device; providing a discovery log entry of the storage device to a discovery server; providing a discovery log page from the discovery server to a host computer, wherein the discovery log page contains discovery information of a plurality of storage devices including one or more discovery log entries, and each of the one or more discovery log entries includes an address of the corresponding storage device that is assigned to establish communication between the host computer and the corresponding storage device; establishing a connection between the host computer and a target storage device using the discovery log entry of the target storage device contained in the discovery log page; and providing input/output (I/O) or compute workloads from the host computer to the target storage device.
