ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods are provided for disabling a device in an enterprise storage system. In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving information identifying a device in a storage area network that is scheduled for an outage. The method further determines one or more paths impacted by the outage of the device, generates a notification identifying the determined one or more paths, and transmits the notification to one or more hosts having paths to the device.
