A system and method for dynamically generating the topology of a storage array network by linking information concerning hosts and clusters along with information about host port adapters. Namely, each host identifies itself to all controllers and provides information in a command that allows the controller to know which host and cluster, if applicable, is associated with the host port adapter through which the command was issued. In addition, the topology is automatically updated anytime there is a change on the network such as a new device was added or a host port adapter was replaced.
