Abstract:
Methods operable on a storage controller and related structure are provided for responding to inquiry commands from a host for a storage device. A command requesting information about a storage device is received from a host. In response to the command, the storage controller determines that the storage device is not initialized, and begins an initialization process for the storage device. Information received from the storage device during the initialization process is stored for completing a response to the inquiry. A response to the inquiry is transmitted to the host based on the stored information to complete the inquiry without waiting for the storage device to complete the initialization.
