Zusammenfassung: | Described embodiments access data in a chained, scalable storage system. A primary agent of one or more storage devices receives a host request including a logical address from a host coupled to the primary agent. The primary agent determines, based on the logical address, a corresponding physical address in at least one of the storage devices and generates, based on the physical address, a sub-request for each determined physical address in the storage devices. The primary agent sends, via a storage device interface network operable independently of the host, the sub-requests to the storage devices. The storage device interface network is a peer-to-peer network coupling the storage devices to the primary agent. The primary agent receives sub-status in response to the sub-requests, and determines an overall status. The primary agent provides the overall status to the host such that the host is coupled to the storage devices without a switch. |
