Abstract
A storage device is communicatively coupled to a management station and comprises an interface manager to send a notification to the management station when a network address of the storage device is changed to a new address. The management station retains information on the network address of the storage device and, upon receipt of a notification, reestablishes a connection to the storage device using the new address. Related methods, and components of the system, are also disclosed.
