Abstract
Host-resident software such as a Multi-Path Input-Output (MPIO) driver generates notifications of scheduled host shutdowns and unscheduled host shutdowns. A storage node generates emergency snapshots of storage objects masked to the host server in response to receipt of an unscheduled shutdown notification. The storage node also generates emergency snapshots of storage objects masked to a host server in response to detection of a reboot sequence of the host server when a corresponding scheduled shutdown notification was not received beforehand.
