Abstract
A system and method for monitoring cluster partner boot status over a RDMA-capable transport protocol is provided. Upon initialization, a storage system in a cluster generates a virtual interface connection using a predetermined and pre-assigned fibre channel identification and virtual interface number. The surviving storage system may then open a connection to this predetermined and predefined virtual interface connection and issue RDMA commands thereto. This surviving storage system may utilize the RDMA capabilities of the virtual interface protocol to obtain a set of boot statistics to determine whether the booting file or storage system is progressing normally.
