Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for performing input/output path failovers may include identifying a computing system with a plurality of input/output paths to a storage array. The computer-implemented method may additionally include detecting a failure of a first input/output path within the plurality of input/output paths. The computer-implemented method may also include receiving a communication from the storage array indicating that a storage processor within the first input/output path is unavailable. The computer-implemented method may further include selecting at least one alternate input/output path within the plurality of input/output paths that does not include the storage processor. The computer-implemented method may additionally include reconfiguring the computing system to access the storage array via the alternate input/output path. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
