Abstract:
A system and method for discovering multiple paths to a disk device are disclosed. For example, the method can include discovering a plurality of paths that exist from a first host computer to a storage device. The plurality of paths includes at least one local path and at least one network path from the first host computer to the storage device. In addition, the first host computer is one of several host computers in a cluster. Once the paths have been discovered, a representation of the paths from the first host computer to the storage device is generated. Such a method can be performed, for example, without user intervention.
