Abstract
The invention provides, in one aspect, a digital data processing system having an interconnect that provides for registration of components communicating thereon. One or more host devices, storage devices or other components are coupled to the interconnect for communication, at least one of them lacking an ability to self-register with the interconnect. Such a component is referred to herein as a non-compliant component. A registration module coupled with the interconnect performs the registration on behalf of the non-compliant component.
