Abstract
A data-processing apparatus, method and program product generally include identifying one or more SAS expanders and one or more link thereof associated with an SAS domain of a data-processing apparatus. Link and reset data can be automatically injected onto the link(s) and the SAS expander(s) associated with the SAS domain, in response to identifying the SAS expander(s) and one or more links thereof. The presence of the link(s) within the SAS domain can then be verified, in response to automatically injecting the link and reset data onto one or more links and one or more SAS expanders in order to test the links and the SAS expanders associated with the SAS domain.
