1. A method for detecting topology, comprising:
- sending a request to a storage node by a compute node, wherein the request comprises first identification information of the compute node;
returning a response to the compute node in response to the request by the storage node, wherein the response comprises second identification information of the storage node;
combining the first identification information and the second identification information into a first connection identity by the compute node; and
combining the first identification information and the second identification information into a second connection identity by the storage node, wherein the second connection identity is the same as the first connection identity.

Abstract
A method for detecting topology, a compute node, and a storage node are proposed. In this disclosure, the compute node and the storage node exchange identity information with each other. Next, each of the compute node and the storage node combines the identity information thereof and the identification information of the other based on the same rule to generate the same connection identification for characterizing the connection relationship between the compute node and the storage node. Accordingly, the maintenance and management of a data center may be more convenient and less expensive.
