Engineering:SCSI standalone enclosure services
From HandWiki
SCSI standalone enclosure services is a computer protocol used mainly with disk storage enclosures. It allows a host computer to communicate with the enclosure to access its power, cooling, and other non-data characteristics.
The host computer communicates with one or more SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) controllers in the enclosure via a SCSI interface which may be Parallel SCSI, FC-AL, SAS, or SSA. Each SES controller has a SCSI identity (address) and so can accept direct SCSI commands.
Implemented commands
The following SCSI commands are implemented by standalone enclosure services devices:
SCSI command | Operation code | Comment |
ACCESS CONTROL IN | 86h | Optional |
ACCESS CONTROL OUT | 87h | Optional |
CHANGE ALIASES | A4h | Optional |
INQUIRY | 12h | Mandatory |
LOG SELECT | 4Ch | Optional |
LOG SENSE | 4Dh | Optional |
MAINTENANCE IN | A3h | See note 1 |
MAINTENANCE OUT | A4h | See note 1 |
MODE SELECT | 15h/55h | Optional |
MODE SENSE | 1Ah/5Ah | Optional |
PERSISTENT RESERVE IN | 5Eh | Optional |
PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT | 5Fh | Optional |
READ BUFFER | 3Ch | Optional |
RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS | 1Ch | Mandatory |
REDUNDANCY GROUP IN | BAh | See note 1 |
REDUNDANCY GROUP OUT | BBh | See note 1 |
REPORT ALIASES | A3h | Optional |
REPORT DEVICE IDENTIFIER | A3h | Optional |
REPORT LUNS | A0h | Mandatory |
REPORT PRIORITY | A3h | Optional |
REPORT SUPPORTED OPERATION CODES | A3h | Optional |
REPORT SUPPORTED TASK MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS | A3h | Optional |
REPORT TARGET PORT GROUPS | A3h | Optional |
REPORT TIMESTAMP | A3h | Optional |
REQUEST SENSE | 03h | Mandatory |
SEND DIAGNOSTIC | 1Dh | Mandatory |
SET DEVICE IDENTIFIER | A4h | Optional |
SET PRIORITY | A4h | Optional |
SET TARGET PORT GROUPS | A4h | Optional |
SET TIMESTAMP | A4h | Optional |
SPARE IN | BCh | See note 1 |
SPARE OUT | BDh | See note 1 |
TEST UNIT READY | 00h | Mandatory |
VOLUME SET IN | BEh | See note 1 |
VOLUME SET OUT | BFh | See note 1 |
WRITE BUFFER | 3Bh | Optional |
Note 1: The initiator needs to send a SCSI inquiry to interrogate the SCCS bit which says whether the SES controller has this command.
