Abstract
A method and system for a scalable I/O system are presented. The scalable I/O system includes a server, at least one client, and at least one storage device. The server interfaces with the at least one client and at least one storage device. The at least one storage device and at least one client also interface for data transfer. The server initiates data transfer from the storage device on behalf of an open client. The server further sets up a disconnect state in the at least one storage device to be reconnected for transfer to a non-server interface. The server further passes information to the open client that is requesting data transfer, which allows the open client to determine dimensions of data transfer, number of storage devices that require accessing for the data transfer, and the relationship of the data transfer of each storage device to the original data request sent to the server.
