Summary:One aspect of the present invention includes performing a quarantine of inaccessible data within a CIM dataset that is managed by a storage service, and a recovery of this data within the CIM dataset once it becomes accessible. In one embodiment, after a first request is made through a CIM agent to the inaccessible data managed by a storage service, the storage service is quarantined within the CIM dataset. This includes terminating any active threads to the service and preventing new threads from accessing the service. Accordingly, the data is hidden from subsequent requests with the CIM agent and any requests to the inaccessible data are prevented. The storage service is then queried so that when the data becomes accessible, the device services for the storage service are restarted. Once restarted, new threads within the CIM agent are able to access the data within the storage service.
