ENSLOSURE SERVICES COMMENTS

 We have some suggestions for Enclosure services:

  1) Configuration page  Page 6 of 34
     All of the elements listed in configuration page have only
     logical attributes. Physical attributes such as
     Bay number, Slot number,  and SCSI ID should be standardized.

  2) Control page.   Page 12 of 34
     To send a control element to one device, all n control elements must
     be sent to all elements. Most of them are no ops. A method of sending
     a single control element to a single element is needed.

  3) The Short status is so short that it is not very useful.
     A method of returning only changed status instead of ALL status
     would be useful.
