Methods and structure are provided for managing a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) domain via Universal Serial Bus (USB) communications. The system comprises a SAS expander. The SAS expander comprises a plurality of physical links, a USB interface, and a control unit. The control unit is operable to receive USB packets via the USB interface, to determine SAS management information based upon the received USB packets, and to alter a configuration of the SAS domain based upon the SAS management information determined from the USB packets.

A system and method for customizing a SCSI error response received from a SCSI target in a storage network environment is disclosed. In a method for customizing a SCSI error response received from a SCSI target in a storage network environment, a SCSI command is received from a SCSI initiator by a SCSI to ATA bridge. The received SCSI command is translated to provide an ATA command. The ATA command is then sent to an ATA drive. The ATA command is executed by the ATA drive. During execution, if an error occurs, an ATA error response is sent by the ATA drive to the SCSI to ATA bridge. The received ATA error response is translated to a SCSI error response. The SCSI to ATA bridge then obtains a customized SCSI error response using an error look-up table. Further the customized SCSI error response is sent to the SCSI initiator.
