Abstract:
The present invention is directed at a method and apparatus for determining a distributed Serial Attached Small computer system interface (SAS) topology in a storage network system. Once a SAS storage network element, such as a SAS Expander, receives notification that a downstream SAS topology has changed, the SAS Expander queries all downstream SAS Expanders to update its route table.
