6.3 SCSI Enclosure Services (SES)

Drive enclosures may provide a SCSI Enclosure Processor which indicates enclosure health status, drive identification and drive fault.

The ATTO Storage Controller recognizes drive enclosures that provide SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) information. You may use SES to identify

individual drives, all the drives in the same enclosure, all the drives in a single RAID group, or faulted drives.

You may also select drives and monitor the status of the enclosure.
