Abstract
A fabric-attached device configuration for a host system may be managed in regard to fabric state changes for a host system connected to a fabric. An event may be received indicating a fabric state change for one or more host adapter ports. In response to the event, the host system's fabric device configuration may be dynamically changed. Dynamically changing the host system's fabric device configuration may include bringing online or taking offline one or more fabric devices for the one or more host adapter ports for the host system. In some embodiments, a configuration file may be stored specifying an action to be taken for various types of events. Upon receiving indicating a fabric state change, the configuration file may be accessed to determine the fabric device configuration action to be taken for the type of fabric state change indicated by the event.
