Abstract
A system and method for determining a status of a connection path. For example, the method can include receiving a control message at a first node of a number of nodes that are configured to form a cluster, identifying a second node of the nodes as a node from which the control message was received, identifying a storage device to which the second node is coupled; and determining a status of a connection path. The connection path is between the first node and the second node, and the second node and the storage device. The first node includes a first computer system, and the second node includes a second computer system.
