Abstract
Techniques for placing a first storage network device into maintenance mode in a virtualized computing environment in which each data store is connected to at least one host computing system via a storage network device are described. In one embodiment, a first data store having an active input/output (I/O) path to a first host computing system via the first storage network device is identified. Further, migration of virtual machine disks (VMDKs) on the first data store and/or migration of workloads running on the first host computing system are recommended such that the VMDKs can be accessed by the workloads via any other storage network device.
