Compaq Infortrend manual Drive IDs, In-band Fibre and S.E.S. Support

Drive IDs:

Supported ways to address a Fibre port include Hard assigned and Soft assigned. The controller supports automatic loop ID assignment on drive channels. A hard loop address ID can be assigned to disk drives by enclosure jumper setting. If the AL_PA configuration on drive enclosure has been set to a neutral status, physical IDs will be automatically assigned to drives.

In-band Fibre and S.E.S. Support:

"SCSI Pass-through" commands are supported over host and drive loops just as they are over SCSI channels. The "in-band Fibre" protocol for packaging "External Interface" protocol commands/responses is supported over host Fibre loops (such as the RAIDWatch Manager). Drive-side S.E.S. device identification, monitoring and control are likewise supported over drive loops.
