ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems for simplification of the re-discovery process for initiators due to changes in the network. If an initiator subscribes to change reports from a SAS expander, when that SAS expander detects a change in the network, it sends an SMP command back to the initiator, indicating the specific change in the network. Initiator BCN management and re-discovery of the entire network is therefore avoided.
