1. A computerized method of evaluating connectivity between two network resources, the method comprising:
- identifying possible paths of connectivity between resources of devices in the network;
obtaining device connectivity configuration information from the devices in the network;
aggregating and attributing the device configuration information of each device in the network to at least one of the identified possible paths of connectivity, wherein the device is in the at least one possible path in the network; and
computing, based on the device connectivity configuration information attributed to each possible path, whether a network connectivity condition is fulfilled for each possible path between the two network resources,wherein the two network resources include one or more of LUNs, ports or applications.
