Abstract:
A system and method for efficiently allocating device resources is disclosed. A composer application is executed by a management controller. A fabric box includes fabric switches and a fabric controller. A network is coupled to the management controller and the fabric box. Host servers are each coupled to an upstream port of one of the fabric switches. Multiple device resources are coupled to downstream ports of the fabric switches. The fabric controller determines the path distances between each of the downstream ports and each of the upstream ports. The composer application selects a device based on the shortest path distance to a requested host server in response to an allocation command.

Claim (Index 15):
A system for allocating device resources, the system comprising:\n a composer application executed by a management controller; a fabric box including a plurality of fabric switches and a fabric controller; a network coupled to the management controller and the fabric box; a plurality of host servers, each of the host servers coupled to an upstream port of one of the plurality of fabric switches; a plurality of device resources, each of the device resources coupled to a downstream port of one the plurality of fabric switches; and wherein the fabric controller is operable to determine the path distances between each of the downstream ports and each of the upstream ports, and wherein the composer application is operative to select a device based on the shortest path distance to a requested host server in response to an allocation command.
