This was a legacy storage array (XP-512), and the problem has yet to be isolated, but we believe it was a port on the head. In this case every component except the client reports full functionality - the XP says its ports are in great shape and the Brocade sees F-Ports for both the storage array and the HBA.
I'm hoping there's a way for the client to warn me of path failures since it doesn't really matter what the head and the switch say if the client loses comm.
Thanks.

Does anyone know whether there's a way that the NTAP fibre DSM can be configured to generate an alert (by SNMP or e-mail) whenever a path
fails?
what failed, port on the host, port on the head port on the switch ?
