ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods are provided for executing a vendor specific command in a storage area network including a plurality of data storage volumes and at least one host. In one embodiment, a system includes an intelligent multi-protocol switch (IMPS) and a storage and switch controller that is coupled to the IMPS. The IMPS receives a command from the at least one host. The command includes a command byte field storing a vendor specific service action. The storage and switch controller receives the command from the IMPS. A processor included in the storage and switch controller interprets the vendor specific service action and executes the command.
