    OK.

    Can you please define "global state"?

    In SAS, when the domain changes, the controller(s) connected to the
    domain get notification and pass it to the discovery process, which
    will run again.

    Overall, since the discovery process gets (internally) a "picture"
    of the domain out there, it would be appropriate to show this
    "picture" to the user.
