Abstract
An apparatus comprises a first host device that is configured to deliver input-output (IO) operations to a storage system over selected ones of a plurality of paths. The first host device is configured to obtain an IO operation that targets a logical volume of the storage system and to transmit the obtained IO operation to the storage system along a given path of the plurality of paths. The first host device is further configured to determine that the given path has failed to convey the obtained IO operation to the storage system and to cause information comprising an indication that the given path has failed to convey the obtained IO operation to the storage system to be provided to a second host device that is also configured to communicate with the storage system using the at least a portion of the given path.
