Abstract
A method to dynamically attach, manage, and access a LAN-attached SCSI and netSCSI device to a network. In one embodiment, the present invention recites a method for dynamically attaching, managing, and accessing a netSCSI device coupled to a network. In one step, a broadcast message from the netSCSI device, providing a network address of the netSCSI device, is received at a computer coupled to the network. In another step, the network address of the netSCSI device is mapped to a logical SCSI ID in the computer. With another step, the computer claims ownership of the netSCSI device by transmitting a message of ownership to it and including its own, network address. Finally, communication to the netSCSI device is performed by accessing the address map.
