Abstract
A system and method of maintaining connectivity between a host computer and a target on a storage router. A failover driver is established in a stack of an operating system of the host computer. A first network connection is established between the host computer and the target on the storage router. The failover driver monitors connectivity information associated with the first network connection and, if failure of the first network connection is detected, establishes a second network connection between the host computer and the target on the storage router.
