ABSTRACT:
A mass storage system has a host computer connecting over a standard bus to a storage controller. The storage controller connects also to an array of disk drives. The host computer and the storage controller modify standard bus diagnostic commands for transmitting selected, non-diagnostic commands, and responses to each other. In this manner, a standard bus protocol is expanded to enable a host computer and storage controller to communicate, for example, configuration data, status, and some command information, particularly enabling the user at the host computer to control operational aspects of the storage controller.
