ABSTRACT:
A failure condition caused during discovery of storage devices on a storage network having at least one primary bus interconnecting the storage devices is detected. In response to detecting the failure condition, interaction is performed with the storage devices over a secondary bus separate from the primary bus to identify and disable one or more of the storage devices causing the failure condition.
