Abstract
An apparatus comprises at least one processing device that is configured to monitor, in a multi-path layer thereof, a storage area network (SAN) through which one or more host devices access storage devices of a storage system, and responsive to at least one particular detected condition of the SAN, to generate in the multi-path layer one or more notifications for delivery to the storage system. The storage system implements one or more dynamic configuration changes relating to the SAN based at least in part on the one or more notifications generated in the multi-path layer. The multi-path layer illustratively comprises at least one multi-path input-output driver implemented in a corresponding one of the host devices and configured to control delivery of input-output operations to the storage devices of the storage system over selected ones of a plurality of paths through the SAN.
