1. A method for managing a microcode error in a storage operation comprising: receiving an error code that corresponds to the microcode error; receiving a received error path signature for the error code, wherein the received error path signature identifies a series of instructions executed during the storage operation that causes the storage operation to return the error code; identifying a metadata error path signature for the error code within a metadata table; determining whether the received error path signature for the error code substantially matches the metadata error path signature for the error code; and initiating a mitigation action in response to the received error path signature for the error code substantially matching the metadata error path signature for the error code.
