Abstract
Described are techniques for determining connectivity. Statistics are received regarding components of the data storage system including any of a target port, a front end adapter, and a device. It is determined in accordance with inputs whether to modify existing connectivity between an initiator set of one or more initiators and a target set of one or more target ports of the data storage system. The inputs include the one or more statistics and one or more adjustment criteria. Responsive to determining to modify the existing connectivity, first processing makes modification(s) to the existing connectivity including any of: modifying an access state associated with a target port over which a device is exposed to an initiator, and adding or removing connectivity between the initiator and another target port of the data storage system where a device is exposed to the initiator over the another target port.
