Abstract
Defining a storage topology of a distributed computing system including a set of machine nodes. A method includes dynamically receiving from a number of nodes in the distributed computing system information about storage devices. Each node sends information about storage devices connected to that particular node. The information is sent dynamically from each node as conditions related to storage change and as a result of conditions related to storage changing. From the received information, the method includes dynamically constructing a storage topology representation of the distributed computed system.
