Abstract
Fabric modules in a storage system offer differing device IDs from a deterministic sequence to a storage device being added to the storage system. The storage device that is being added accepts a device ID that is higher in the deterministic sequence. The fabric module that offered the device ID same as was accepted by the storage device determines to proceed with initializing the storage device.
