Enclosure Service Interface (ESI)
Enclosure Service Interface provides the protocol defining the information between the
enclosure and the drive.
The drive starts to execute Enclosure Service when the drive receives “Send Diagnostic”
command or “Receive Diagnostic Result” command with Enclosure Service page specified.
a)
SFF8045
Two modes in SFF8045 exist, which are Without Parallel ESI and With Parallel ESI.
SFF8045 w/o Parallel ESI only includes the function that the enclosure provides
SEL_ID defined in FC-AL to the drive.
On the other hand, SFF8045 with Parallel ESI provides an additional function
that the drive can read the status from the enclosure.
b)
SFF8067
This mode covers SFF8045 function and has a purpose for diagnostics and receiving
the status of the enclosure in the next manner.
The drive receives Send Diagnostic command from the initiator.
Then the drive transmits the page specified in Send Diagnostic command to the
enclosure.
The drive receives Receive Diagnostic Result command from the initiator.
Then the drive receives the page specified in Receive Diagnostic Result
command from the enclosure.
1.11.1
Mode deifinition process
When powered on, the enclosure operates as SFF8045 w/o Parallel ESI and provides SEL_ID
to the drive.
The communication starts upon receving Receive Diagnostic Result command as described in
Figure 1.17.
Figure 1.17 Data Transfer Protocol
Detail process in DISCOV. (discovery) phase is shown in Figure 1.18.
This process is executed every time when -Parallel ESI signal is asserted.
The target of DISCOV. phase is that the drive acknowledges the enclosure can operate as SFF8067
mode.
If the enclosure cannot operate as SFF8067, the drive performs one of the following.
a)
assuming that the enclosure can operate as SFF8045 w/o Parallel ESI, then transmits
sense data to the initiator. ; case 1 in Figure 1.18.
