Abstract:
Techniques for placing a first fiber channel (FC) switch into maintenance mode in a virtualized computing environment in which each data store is connected to at least one host computing system via at least two FC switches are described. In one embodiment, a first active input/output (I/O) path from a data store to a host computing system via the first FC switch is identified. Further, a path change is initiated from the data store to the host computing system via any other FC switch coupled to the data store and the host computing system.
