Abstract
Methods and systems for automatically identifying storage array modifications thereof. An interface device associated with a data-processing system and a storage array thereof can be automatically monitored in order to identify one or more command completion events associated with the interface device. Data indicative of the status of the interface device can then be automatically compiled in response to identifying the command completion even(s) as a result of automatically monitoring the interface device. Data indicating that the storage array has been modified can thereafter be generated if the data indicative of a status of the interface device is equivalent to a particular value.
