Abstract
A computer-readable medium having stored thereon executable instructions for performing a method comprising detecting presence of a SATA device in the process of spinning up, and creating a target which comprises default information relating to the SATA device.
Claims18
A method of operating a RAID controller, the method comprising
- detecting presence of a second domain type device while operating in a first domain, wherein the second domain type device is in the process of spinning up during initialization of the RAID controller;
- and
- creating a target to communicate with the RAID controller while the second domain type device is in the process of spinning up during initialization of the RAID controller, wherein the target comprises default information relating to the second domain type device.
A RAID controller comprising:
- an I/O processor;
- an I/O controller in communication with the processor;
- firmware comprising instructions that when executed cause the I/O controller or I/O processor to:
- detect the presence of a second domain type device while operating in a first domain, wherein the second domain type device is in the process of spinning up during initialization of the RAID controller;
- and
- create a target to communicate with the RAID controller while the second domain type device is in the process of spinning up during initialization of the RAID controller, wherein the target comprises default information relating to the second domain type device in a first domain.
