Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for validating logical volume configuration. A determination module makes a determination of a type of a host operating system of a host computer requesting access to a logical volume. A characterization module characterizes the host type of the logical volume. A compatibility module determines if the logical volume is configured for the host operating system. A mitigation module mitigates the mis-configuration if the logical volume is not configured for the host operating system.
