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.
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.
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.

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 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.
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.

8946121402 3-1 Chapter 3 SES Commands Intr oduction This chapter contains information and examples on managing SES, including the follo wing: • FC-PH constructs • FCP and SES commands • Diagnostics pages Note: SESD can be accessed from any F abric switch licensed to run SES.
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 .
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.
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.
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 . They are particularly rele v ant to two commands: Receive Diagnostic Results and Send Diagnostics .
FCP and SES Commands 3-6 8946121402 Switch P age If requested using the Send Diagnostic or Receive Diagnostic Result command, the SESD returns the response sho wn in T able 3-10 .
FCP and SES Commands 8946121402 3-7 The field swValid is bit mapped and indicates which subsequent fields within the page are v alid. The bit position for subsequent fields starts from 0, as indicated in the Field # column of T able 3-10 .
FCP and SES Commands 3-8 8946121402 Neighborhood T able Pa ge If requested using the Send Diagnostic or Receive Diagnostic Result command, the SESD returns the response sho wn in T able 3-13 .
FCP and SES Commands 8946121402 3-9 Table 3-14 Fibre Channel Port Table Page Format Byte/Bit Field # Access 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 0 na na Page Code = 84h 1 na na Reserved 2 .. 3 na na P age Length = n - 3 4 .. 7 na na swNumEntries = i – specifies the number of entries received.
FCP and SES Commands 3-10 8946121402 Name Server Local T able P age If requested using the Send Diagnostic or Receive Diagnostic Result command, the SESD returns the follo wing response as sho wn in T able 3-15 . 108 .. 111 24 ro swFCP or tTxMcasts[0] 112 .
FCP and SES Commands 8946121402 3-11 Inquiry An SES Application Client may send an Inquiry command to obtain information about a switch in the Fabric. The format of the FCP_CDB is sho wn in T able 3-16 .
FCP and SES Commands 3-12 8946121402 If the field, EVPD is set to 1, then the v alue of the page code may be set to one of the codes sho wn in T able 3-18 . If the page code is set to 00h, the SESD will return codes sho wn in T able 3-19 . If the page code is set to 80h, the SESD will return codes sho wn in T able 3-20 .
FCP and SES Commands 8946121402 3-13 If the page code is set to 83h, the SESD will return codes sho wn in T able 3-21 . Receive Diagnostic Results An SES Application Client sends a Receive Diagnostic Results command to return diagnostic or management data.
FCP and SES Commands 3-14 8946121402 Report LUNs An SES Application Client sends a Report LUNs command to obtain the number of logical units (each is a switch in SCSI impersonation) in the Fabric. The CDB format is sho wn in T able 3-23 . The SESD reports the LUNs of associated switches with the format sho wn in T able 3-24 .
FCP and SES Commands 8946121402 3-15 Send Diagnostic A SES Application Client can use a Send Diagnostic command to configure/diagnose a logical unit. After the command completion, the SES Application Client sends a Receive Diagnostic Results command.
FCP and SES Commands 3-16 8946121402 Reject The SESD issues a Reject command to set status to Check Condition and the appropriate v alues for the Sense K ey ( SK ) field. Additional Sense Code ( ASC ) and Additional Sense Code Qualifier ( ASCQ ) v alues are as sho wn in T able 3-28 .
8946121402 4-1 Chapter 4 Troubleshooting Intr oduction This chapter discusses the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command error messages. License Reject A license reject is generated when the SES license ke y is improperly entered or is not installed.
