1. A method for managing a microcode error in a storage operation comprising: receiving an error code that corresponds to the microcode error that triggers a warm start operation issued by a storage system to collect data for problem diagnostics; 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, the mitigation action indicates an action to be taken to recover from the microcode error.
