Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method for implementing firmware in an expander system in such a way that a single hardware component (ex.—a chip) of the expander system may be presented as multiple virtual expanders to both upstream connected devices (ex.—HBAs) as well as downstream connected devices (ex.—disk drives).
