Device Identifier panel options

Use this panel to add or edit the formulas to construct the enclosure identifier and logical disk identifier. It is required as it enables the agent to perform end-to-end correlation to the logical disk and the storage array. This panel lets you specify how the enclosure formula can be constructed from the fields, which are pulled out from the specified SCSI pages.

Table: Device Identifier panel options

Field

Description

No Device Identifier Definition(s)

Select this check box to disable the option to enter the device identifier definitions.

SCSI Vendor Id

Enter or update the SCSI vendor ID.

SCSI Product Id

Enter or update the SCSI product ID.

Field Name

Displays the name of the SCSI field.

SCSI Page No

Select the SCSI page number to be read from the drop-down list.

Start Byte

Enter or update the start byte on the SCSI page to be read.

No of Byte(s)

Enter or update the number of bytes to be read on the SCSI page. The number of bytes beginning from the start byte from the SCSI page defines the field data.

Page 83 Id Type

For SCSI page 83 ID, you can specify the Identifier ID that represents the logical disk identifier instead of explicitly specifying start byte and the number of bytes.

To identify the formulas, you need to refer to the SCSI specifications of the array. The SCSI specification defines which SCSI page and bytes can be used to uniquely identify enclosure, and logical disks.

Field Format

Specify the format you want to read this field in. For example, Binary, Hex, or Integer.

Enclosure Identifier Formula

Enter or update the formula to construct the enclosure identifier using one or more fields.

Logical Disk Identifier Formula

Enter or update the formula to construct the logical disk identifier using one or more fields.
