Abstract
Individual transport connections within a dual-star fabric connected multi-node storage system are disabled in response to associated failures due to faulty hardware or temporal congestion. Each configured IB transport connection is monitored for viability and, upon failure, removed from the pool of available resource. Following failure restoration the resource is tested to ensure proper functionality and then restored to the pool of resources. Mappings associated with the transport connections are maintained while the connections are disabled.
