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. |

1. A method comprising:
receiving a control message at a multi-pathing module of a first node, wherein
the first node comprises a first computer system,the first node is one of a plurality of nodes, andthe plurality of nodes are configured to form a cluster by virtue of, at least in part, being configured to communicate with one another via a network; identifying a second node of the plurality of nodes as a node from which the control message was received, wherein
the multi-pathing module performs, at least in part, the identifying the second node, andthe second node comprises a second computer system; identifying a storage device to which the second node is coupled, wherein
the multi-pathing module performs, at least in part, the identifying the storage device, andthe second node and the storage device are configured to communicate with one another via a storage area network; and determining a status of a connection path, wherein
the multi-pathing module performs, at least in part, the determining, andthe connection path is between the first node and the second node via the network, and the second node and the storage device via the storage area network. |
