Chapter 1 Product Overview Introduction This chapter describes StorageTek’s implementation of SES (SCSI-3 Enclosure Services) on the StorageNet Fibre Channel Switch 4000. SES implementation in a SCSI-3-based Host Adapter is up to the adapter manufacturer and StorageTek cannot determine their implementation. Therefore, the focus of this guide is to discuss StorageTek’s implementation of SES within the Fabric. Note: Currently, the SES standard is in DRAFT status and is subject to change. See “Refe

SES Management Figure 1-1 SES Overview LUN addressing within the Fabric can be non-sequential because it is based on the switch’s Domain_ID. Table 1-1 shows the sample LUN mapping used with Figure 1-1. Table 1-1 Example LUN Mapping Domain ID Unique LUN Value (in Hex) 5 00000000 00000000 (Note that Domain ID 5 is used for both LUN 0 and 5) 2 01020000 00000000 5 01050000 00000000 6 01060000 00000000 9 01090000 00000000 10 010A0000 00000000 Figure 1-1 shows that the switch in the lower left hand

SES Management Therefore, if there are 5 switches in the Fabric SES reports 6 LUNs, one LUN value for each switch and LUN0 for the local client connection. Other SCSI-3 enclosures can also run SES outside the Fabric, such as JBODs, RAID-5 arrays, SCSI-3 hard drives, and SCSI-3 tape drives. These devices are identified by their Fabric and SCSI addresses, and are assigned LUNs using standard SCSI-3 host adapter LUN addressing. Note: It is not this guide’s intent to describe the environment outside

Chapter 2 SES Concepts Introduction This chapter uses generic terms to describe enclosure services and specific SES implementation. SES instances can be distributed inside and outside of the Fabric to any enclosure capable of supporting enclosure services through an SES device. SES is distributed transparently throughout the Fabric, with an instance of a distributed SES Device (SESD) on each switch as shown in Figure 2-1. Figure 2-1 SES Distribution SES Functional Model Each instance may be acce

At the SCSI-3 level, it is associated with a LUN. An SES Application Client can refer to any distributed SESD within the Fabric using its LUN. A LUN value of 0 is always

Access to the Enclosure Services Process An SES Application Client may easily find the LUN values of all distributed SESDs inside the Fabric by using the Report LUNs command. See the “Report LUNs” section in Chapter 3 for more information. Access to the Enclosure Services Process An application client can monitor all enclosures capable of processing the enclosure services command set with SES instances distributed throughout a Storage Area Network (SAN). Enclosure services can monitor both device
