Abstract
One or more aspects of the present disclosure relate to dynamically managing input/output (IO) paths in a storage network environment. In embodiments, IO operations received at a storage array port are monitored. For example, the storage array can receive the IO operations from one or more hosts. In addition, a number of failing IO operations at the port of the storage array is determined. Accordingly, an error in a communication path between the port of the storage array and at least one of the one or more hosts is identified based on the number of failing IO operations. Further, IO operations from the communication path with the error are redirected to an alternative communication path free from errors.
