8946121402 1-1 Chapter 1 Product Overview Intr oduction This chapter describes StorageT ek’ 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 StorageT ek cannot determine their implementation. Therefore, the focus[...]

SES Management 1-2 8946121402 Figure 1-1 SES Overview LUN addressing within the Fabric can be non-sequential because it is based on the switch’ s Domain_ID . T able 1-1 shows the sample LUN mapping used with Figure 1-1 . Figure 1-1 sho ws that the switch in the lo wer left hand corner is assigned both LUN5 and LUN0. (LUN5 because the switch’ s [...]

SES Management 8946121402 1-3 Therefore, if there are 5 switches in the Fabric SES reports 6 LUNs, one LUN v alue 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 dri ves, and SCSI-3 tape dri v es. These de vices are identified by their [...]

8946121402 2-1 Chapter 2 SES Concepts Intr oduction This chapter uses generic terms to describe enclosure services and specific SES implementation. SES instances can be distributed inside and outside of the F abric to an y enclosure capable of supporting enclosure services through an SES de vice. SES is distributed transparently throughout the F a[...]

SES Functional Model 2-2 8946121402 Figure 2-2 SES Functional Model At the Fibre Channel le vel, each SESD is accessible through the Fibre Channel well kno wn address, FFFFFAh (Management Server). At the SCSI-3 le v el, it is associated with a LUN. An SES Application Client can refer to any distrib uted SESD within the F abric using its LUN. A LUN [...]

Access to the Enclosure Ser vices Process 8946121402 2-3 An SES Application Client may easily find the LUN values of all distrib uted SESDs inside the Fabric by using the Report LUNs command. See the “Report LUNs” section in Chapter 3 for more information. Access to the Enc losure Services Process An application client can monitor all enclosur[...]

Constructs, Commands and Diagnostic P ages T able 3-1 summarizes the[...]

FCP Constructs 3-2 8946121402 FCP Constructs Before initiating any FCP request, the Nx_Port associated with the SES Application Client (FCP Initiator) must complete an N_Port Login ( PLOGI ) with the Management Server in Class 2 or 3. Note: The destination address in the PLOGI request must be set to FFFFFAh . The FCP Process Login (PRLI) is not req[...]

FCP Constructs 8946121402 3-3 The FCP_LUN v alue format is described in T able 3-3 or the value is 0. The latter refers to the SESD on the local switch. The FCP_CNTL value is set to 1, 2 or 0 depending on whether READ D A T A , WRITE D A T A or neither is in volved in the command. The FCP_CDB v alue contains the appropriate command descriptor . The[...]

FCP and SES Commands 3-4 8946121402 T able 3-5 shows the FCP_STATUS field format. The reserved bits are set to 0 by the SESD. FCP_RESID_UNDER indicates that the FCP_RESID field is v alid and contains the number of bytes expected to be transferred, b ut were not transferred. See T able 3-4 . This bit is not used by SESD. FCP_RESID_OVER indicates t[...]

FCP and SES Commands 8946121402 3-5 Switch Diagnostics P ages Before each SCSI command is discussed in detail, the diagnostics pages are defined in T able 3-7 .
