Abstract:
1. An apparatus to re-generate a data structure, the apparatus comprising: a detection module configured to detect corruption of a first data structure configured to organize software instructions, wherein the first data structure is stored on Random Access Memory (RAM); a removal module configured to remove a first path from a host system to the first data structure without affecting communications over other paths of a path group between the host system and other data structures, the removal module comprising a request module configured to request the host system to remove the first path, a notification module configured to notify the host system of a state change, and a verification module configured to verify the first path is removed; a path module configured to establish a second path from the host system to a second data structure stored on the RAM and configured to organize the software instructions, incorporating the second path in the path group without interrupting communications through the paths of the path group; and a re-generation module configured to generate the second data structure to replace the first data structure.
