A method and apparatus for managing a community of storage resource devices are provided. Management of each storage resource device within a community may be performed through a connection established between an administrator computer and a proxy storage resource device established over an out-of-band network. The proxy storage resource device may collect information related to other members of the community of storage resource devices, and provide such information to the administrator computer. The administrator computer may also obtain information from, and provide commands to, members of the community of storage resource devices through the proxy storage resource device. Information between members of a community of storage resource devices may exchange information using an in-band network.
