The present invention provides an apparatus and method for verifying and correcting storage area network (SAN) configuration information. With the apparatus and method of the present invention, configuration information is collected from components of the SAN using a SAN configuration scanning device. The configuration information collected by the SAN configuration scanning device is then compared to certified configuration parameters by a SAN configuration verification device. The comparison results in variances between the collected configuration information and the certified configuration parameters. It is then determined whether these variances are correctable or not. The variances that are correctable are corrected to reflect the certified configuration parameters by a SAN configuration correction device. Variances that are not correctable are output to an error report generation device that generates an error report for use by a SAN system administrator. The above functions of the present invention can be performed from a location remote from the actual physical location of the SAN.
