SCSI standalone enclosure services

SCSI standalone enclosure services

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.

upported commands

The following SCSI commands are supported by standalone enclosure services devices:

Note 1: The initiator needs to send a SCSI inquiry to interrogate the SCCS bit which says if the SES controller supports this command.
