RESOLVING A PROTOCOL ISSUE WITHIN A DISPERSED STORAGE NETWORK
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprises:
- detecting a potential dispersed storage network (DSN) protocol issue that effects access of dispersed storage error encoded data within a DSN;
identifying a DSN entity based on the DSN protocol issue;
generating a DSN protocol inquiry frame;
transmitting the DSN protocol inquiry frame to the DSN entity;
receiving a DSN protocol response frame from the DSN entity; and
resolving the DSN protocol issue based on the DSN protocol response frame.

Abstract
A method begins by a processing module detecting a potential dispersed storage network (DSN) protocol issue that effects access of dispersed storage error encoded data within a DSN. The method continues with the processing module identifying a DSN entity based on the DSN protocol issue and generating a DSN protocol inquiry frame. The method continues with the processing module transmitting the DSN protocol inquiry frame to the DSN entity. The method continues with the processing module receiving a DSN protocol response frame from the DSN entity and resolving the DSN protocol issue based on the DSN protocol response frame.
