Abstract

A technique for operating a storage area network includes detecting an input/output operation failure associated with a logical unit number, which is associated with a first target port. The technique also includes determining, subsequent to the detected input/output operation failure, whether the logical unit number is associated with a second target port. Finally, the technique includes routing subsequent input/output operations for the logical unit number to the logical unit number via the second target port, in response to determining that the logical unit number is associated with the second target port.
