Updating path selection as paths between a computing device and a storage system change

Abstract:

Policy based path management, including: identifying a plurality of data communications paths between a storage system and an entity that issues input/output (`I/O`) operations to the storage system; selecting, in dependence upon a path selection policy, a subset of data communications paths from the plurality of data communications paths between the entity and the storage system; and issuing, from the entity to the storage system, I/O operations using only the subset of data communications paths.
