  • Identifying system device locations
    Patent number: 10289517
    Abstract: Technology for identifying a device location in a system or network includes an example method comprising detecting, by a controller, a device being connected to a location of a set of locations connected to the controller. Responsive to detecting the device, the controller can assign a device identifier (ID) to the device. A device ID may be based on a set of component IDs corresponding to components associated with the device and a component ID may be a system ID, a first controller ID, a first port ID, a first bus ID, or an information ID associated with the device. Further, the device ID can identify the location where the device resides.
