Abstract
A method, computer program product, and computing system for processing fabric device management interface (FDMI) information about one or more initiator devices from a fibre channel (FC) switch to allow a storage array to associate host bus adapter worldwide name (HBA-WWN) port information with one or more hostnames corresponding to the one or more initiator devices. The method may further include transmitting from each port available in the storage array, at predetermined intervals, a remote link service (RLS) signal to each HBA-WWN port in communication with the storage array. Further, the method may include processing a confirmation signal associated with receipt of the RLS signal at a first HBA-WWN port on a first initiator device, and in response to processing the confirmation signal, marking a successful path used to transmit the RLS signal as valid.
