DETERMINING MULTIPLE VIRTUAL HOST PORTS ON A SAME PHYSICAL HOST PORT
First Claim
1. A method of determining that at least two virtual host ports correspond to a same physical host port of a host system, comprising:
- determining a plurality of virtual host ports connected to a storage system by a switch;
determining that the at least two of the plurality of virtual host ports are connected to a same fabric port of the switch; and
determining that the at least two virtual host ports correspond to the same physical host port based at least in part on the at least two virtual host ports being connected to the same fabric port of the switch.

Abstract
Multiple virtual host ports corresponding to a same physical host port may be determined by or on behalf of a storage system, for example, in response to logging the one or more virtual host ports into the storage system. For one or more virtual host ports, it may be determined whether the virtual host port is connected to a same fabric port as another virtual host port, where a fabric port is a port of a fabric configured to connect to a virtual host port. If two virtual host ports are determined to be connected to a same fabric port, it may be concluded that the two virtual host ports correspond to (e.g., share) a same physical host port. One or more actions may be taken on a storage network based at least in part on a determination that two virtual host ports are sharing a same physical host port.

15. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media for a storage system, the computer-readable media having software stored thereon defining a method of determining that at least two virtual host ports correspond to a same physical host port of a host system, the software comprising:
-
executable code that determines a plurality of virtual host ports connected to a storage system by a switch; executable code that determines that at least two of the plurality of virtual host ports are connected to a same fabric port of the switch; and executable code that determines that the at least two virtual host ports correspond to the same physical host port based at least in part on the at least two virtual host ports being connected to the same fabric port of the switch. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
