ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for coordinating the interoperability of devices in a network are disclosed. Embodiments of the present invention may provide the ability for a host device in a storage network to inquire as to the capabilities of a storage device in a storage network. A routing device between the host and the storage device may receive a response, and if the routing device has a higher capability than the storage device the routing device may convert the response to a response that reflects the higher capabilities of the routing device before sending the response on to the host. However, if the storage device has a higher capability than the routing device, the routing device may pass the response through to the host unaltered.
