Publication number: 20150363346Abstract: Example embodiments relate to providing serial ATA (SATA) initiator addressing and storage device slicing. In example embodiments, an expander device configures an initiator serial attached SCSI (SAS) address to uniquely identify a SATA initiator, where the SATA initiator is associated with a target address of a SATA storage bridge. Further, the STP storage bridge of the expander device is configured to associate the initiator SAS address with a drive slice of an SATA storage device. At this stage, the expander device receives a SATA request from the SATA initiator, where the SATA request comprises a SATA command and a logical block addressing (LBA) address, and after inserting the initiator SAS address into the SATA request, sends an STP connection request to the target address. The expander device may then offset the LBA address based on the initiator SAS address to obtain an offset LBA address of the SATA storage device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2013Publication date: December 17, 2015Applicant: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.Inventors: Michael L. Sabotta, Balaji Natrajan, Henry F. Lada, JR., Charles R. Hanna
