Abstract
Storage area network (SAN) components contain a processor configured to provide a first event handling module that can receive an error event at a first hardware component of the storage area network. A database is accessed that contains associations between error event data and potential sources of errors. A plurality of hardware components are identified using the database and error event data. The hardware components are ranked and one is selected based on the ranking. An error notification is sent to a second event handling module of the hardware component. Based upon the response of the second event handling module, an error handling procedure is carried out.
