The SES spec is a bit ambiguous regarding which element types should be included in the Threshold Out/In diagnostic page. A clarification would be helpful. The following are the excerpts from the 2r20 spec. Below each excerpt is my comment. The questions are at the end of the email. 6.1.8 Threshold Out diagnostic page The Threshold Out diagnostic page is transmitted to the enclosure services process to establish threshold values for those elements that have limited sensing capability (e.g., temperature sensors, uninterruptible power supplies, voltage sensors, and current sensors). My comment: this statement "possibly" suggests that this page includes only those element types that support threshold. The threshold control descriptor list contains a threshold control descriptor for each type descriptor header in the Configuration diagnostic page (see 6.1.2). My comment: this statement "strongly" suggests that this page includes all element types, whether or not they support thresholds. 7.1 Element definitions overview, Table 60 My comment: shows which element type support thresholds and which not. 7.2.4 Threshold control element format All fields in the threshold control element are advisory. The enclosure services process shall ignore the contents of the threshold control element for those elements that have no value to be compared with a threshold and for those elements that do not implement the threshold function. My comment: this statement suggests that threshold descriptors for even those element types, that do not support threshold, are included in the Threshold Out/In diagnostic page, however, the application client and the enclosure services process (ESP) are supposed to ignore them. 7.3 Field definitions for all element types My comments: this section does not describe the threshold descriptors for element types that do not support threshold. Not even a generic descriptor with 4 reserved bytes is defined. If the readers are to assume that the threshold descriptors for even those element types that do not support threshold are to be included in the Threshold Out/In diagnostic pages, then they are also supposed to assume a generic 4-byte threshold descriptors with all bytes as reserved as they are supposed to be ignored by both the application client and the ESP. If the readers are to assume that the Threshold Out/In pages should include only those element types that support threshold then there is no question of assuming a generic 4-bytes reserved descriptor and no question of ignoring them. Based on the above there are many "strong" points that indicate that the Threshold Out/In pages include even those element types that do not support thresholds and there are some "weak" points that indicate that they don't include those element types. Did the spec authors intended to include additional descriptors in the page that will never be used? Or were the Threshold Out/In diagnostic pages meant to be similar to the Additional Element Status diagnostic page where in only a selected subset of element types appear in these pages? In my opinion the spec authors did not intend to include additional descriptors in the page that will never be used and thus the Threshold Out/In diagnostic page is similar to the Additional Element Status diagnostic page where only a limited subset of element types appear in these pages. However, I could be wrong, thus please clarify.

From that, I believe all individual elements defined in the Configuration diagnostic page have a threshold element in the Threshold in/Out diagnostic page even if it is just a placeholder/reserved threshold element.

However, those placeholder/reserved threshold elements are a huge wastage and amounts to unnecessary data being transferred. Thus I believe that the authors of the SES spec wouldn't have intended the same and is a thing that does not clearly come out of the spec. Consider the below given configuration of an imaginary enclosure. In this we are talking about sending/receiving 352 bytes of useless data, that is approximately 80% wastage. The number of useless bytes would almost multiply as you add subenclosures. 24 Array Device Slot elements 2 Power Supply elements 6 Cooling elements 4 Temperature Sensor elements 1 Door Lock element 1 Audible Alarm element 2 Enclosure Services Controller Electronics elements 1 Invalid Operation Reason element 1 UPS element 1 Display element 1 Enclosure element 6 Voltage Sensor elements 4 Current Sensor elements 2 SAS Expander elements 30 SAS Connector elements 2 VS element 1 4 VS element 2 As the authors limited the number of element types appearing in the Additional Element Status diagnostic page, it is probable that they intended the same for the Threshold Out/In diagnostic page but unfortunately it didn't came out that way in the spec.

Message-ID: Formatted message: HTML-formatted message Its almost that time again to head back to Boston and try to finish a SAS specification! There were a number of good ideas and areas of change that were presented to me last time we had the meeting at the Double tree. If anyone has any other feedbacks other than what's below let me know and I will get them addressed 1. Fix the wireless internet in conference rooms - We are setting up a few more wire portals to address this concern 2. Fix the TV channels received -the hotel said the cable provider has more channels than last year. 3. Change the lunch options - No one liked the pick your own sandwich stlye so I'm proposing: a. Pizza buffet b. Build your own sandwich with selection of meats c. Italian buffet d. Fish / Chowder buffet. 4. Fix the Double beds vs King rooms, more King bed rooms are available, as usual first come first serve. -Thanks Mick Felton From gerry.houlder at seagate.com Wed May 23 08:45:51 2012 From: gerry.houlder at seagate.com (Gerry Houlder) Date: Wed, 23 May 2012 10:45:51 -0500 Subject: Telecon information for MDC project discussion May 31, 2012 Message-ID: Formatted message: HTML-formatted message Agenda: Discuss 12-034r2 updates since last telecon Decide if this is enough of a start to approve the project in July. ------------------------------------------------------- Meeting information ------------------------------------------------------- Topic: MDC project discussion Date: Thursday, May 31, 2012 Time: 4:00 pm, Central Daylight Time (Chicago, GMT-05:00) Meeting Number: 828 394 185 Meeting Password: T10banded ------------------------------------------------------- To start or join the online meeting ------------------------------------------------------- Go to https://seagate.webex.com/seagate/j.php?ED=167000587&UID=478887201&PW=NYWEwOD Y5YjE4&RT=MiM3 ------------------------------------------------------- To join the audio conference only ------------------------------------------------------- 1.

From Elliott at hp.com Thu May 31 12:02:50 2012 From: Elliott at hp.com (Elliott, Robert (Server Storage)) Date: Thu, 31 May 2012 19:02:50 +0000 Subject: Seeking clarification on Threshold Out/In diagnostic pages Message-ID: Formatted message: HTML-formatted message The Threshold Out/In diagnostic pages are old, and just report 4 bytes per element type plus 4 bytes per individual element; the Additional Element Status diagnostic page is relatively new and is designed to return a lot more data per element (but not all elements need to report extra data). So, don't be surprised by differences. These are all the same size: - control descriptor list (Enclosure Control diagnostic page) - status descriptor list (Enclosure Status diagnostic page) - threshold control descriptor list (Threshold Out diagnostic page) - threshold status descriptor list (Threshold In diagnostic page) In ses3r04a, table 65 and table 66 (PDF page 85-86) define the generic formats for the threshold elements. I agree there should be a statement somewhere that: a) all the fields in the threshold control elements are ignored; and b) all the fields in the threshold status elements are reserved, for the elements listed in table 60 (PDF page 82) as having a threshold of "none". From: owner-t10 at t10.org [mailto:owner-t10 at t10.org] On Behalf Of Raj Divecha Sent: Friday, 04 May, 2012 3:37 PM To: Matthew_Jacobs at Dell.com Cc: t10 at t10.org Subject: RE: Seeking clarification on Threshold Out/In diagnostic pages Matt, Yeah that's a strong indicator indeed, I too acknowledge that in my email. However, those placeholder/reserved threshold elements are a huge wastage and amounts to unnecessary data being transferred. Thus I believe that the authors of the SES spec wouldn't have intended the same and is a thing that does not clearly come out of the spec. Consider the below given configuration of an imaginary enclosure. In this we are talking about sending/receiving 352 bytes of useless data, that is approximately 80% wastage. The number of useless bytes would almost multiply as you add subenclosures. 24 Array Device Slot elements 2 Power Supply elements 6 Cooling elements 4 Temperature Sensor elements 1 Door Lock element 1 Audible Alarm element 2 Enclosure Services Controller Electronics elements 1 Invalid Operation Reason element 1 UPS element 1 Display element 1 Enclosure element 6 Voltage Sensor elements 4 Current Sensor elements 2 SAS Expander elements 30 SAS Connector elements 2 VS element 1 4 VS element 2 As the authors limited the number of element types appearing in the Additional Element Status diagnostic page, it is probable that they intended the same for the Threshold Out/In diagnostic page but unfortunately it didn't came out that way in the spec. Raj From: Matthew_Jacobs at Dell.com [mailto:Matthew_Jacobs at Dell.com] Sent: Friday, May 04, 2012 1:42 PM To: Raj Divecha; t10 at t10.org Subject: RE: Seeking clarification on Threshold Out/In diagnostic pages Raj, The descriptions of the threshold control descriptor list and the threshold status descriptor list in sections 6.1.8 and 6.1.9 state that the list contains a control/status "descriptor for each type descriptor header in the Configuration diagnostic page". From that, I believe all individual elements defined in the Configuration diagnostic page have a threshold element in the Threshold in/Out diagnostic page even if it is just a placeholder/reserved threshold element. Matt From: owner-t10 at t10.org [mailto:owner-t10 at t10.org] On Behalf Of Raj Divecha Sent: Friday, May 04, 2012 12:29 PM To: t10 at t10.org Subject: SES: Seeking clarification on Threshold Out/In diagnostic pages Hi, I searched the T10 emails for this but didn't found anything. The SES spec is a bit ambiguous regarding which element types should be included in the Threshold Out/In diagnostic page. A clarification would be helpful. The following are the excerpts from the 2r20 spec. Below each excerpt is my comment. The questions are at the end of the email. 6.1.8 Threshold Out diagnostic page The Threshold Out diagnostic page is transmitted to the enclosure services process to establish threshold values for those elements that have limited sensing capability (e.g., temperature sensors, uninterruptible power supplies, voltage sensors, and current sensors). My comment: this statement "possibly" suggests that this page includes only those element types that support threshold. The threshold control descriptor list contains a threshold control descriptor for each type descriptor header in the Configuration diagnostic page (see 6.1.2). My comment: this statement "strongly" suggests that this page includes all element types, whether or not they support thresholds. 7.1 Element definitions overview, Table 60 My comment: shows which element type support thresholds and which not. 7.2.4 Threshold control element format All fields in the threshold control element are advisory. The enclosure services process shall ignore the contents of the threshold control element for those elements that have no value to be compared with a threshold and for those elements that do not implement the threshold function. My comment: this statement suggests that threshold descriptors for even those element types, that do not support threshold, are included in the Threshold Out/In diagnostic page, however, the application client and the enclosure services process (ESP) are supposed to ignore them. 7.3 Field definitions for all element types My comments: this section does not describe the threshold descriptors for element types that do not support threshold. Not even a generic descriptor with 4 reserved bytes is defined. If the readers are to assume that the threshold descriptors for even those element types that do not support threshold are to be included in the Threshold Out/In diagnostic pages, then they are also supposed to assume a generic 4-byte threshold descriptors with all bytes as reserved as they are supposed to be ignored by both the application client and the ESP. If the readers are to assume that the Threshold Out/In pages should include only those element types that support threshold then there is no question of assuming a generic 4-bytes reserved descriptor and no question of ignoring them. Based on the above there are many "strong" points that indicate that the Threshold Out/In pages include even those element types that do not support thresholds and there are some "weak" points that indicate that they don't include those element types. Did the spec authors intended to include additional descriptors in the page that will never be used? Or were the Threshold Out/In diagnostic pages meant to be similar to the Additional Element Status diagnostic page where in only a selected subset of element types appear in these pages? In my opinion the spec authors did not intend to include additional descriptors in the page that will never be used and thus the Threshold Out/In diagnostic page is similar to the Additional Element Status diagnostic page where only a limited subset of element types appear in these pages. However, I could be wrong, thus please clarify.

The agenda was to discuss progress on the 12-034 rev 2 - Multi-characteristic Device Commands proposal. Attendees: Jack Harwood (EMC) Dan Colgrove (HGST) Chris Williams (HP) Curtis Ballard (HP) John Lohmeyer (LSI) Gerry Houlder (Seagate) Joel Schipper (Seagate) Jim Hatfield (Seagate) Mike Fitzpatrick (Toshiba) Paul Suler (Quantum) Rev. 2 of 12-034 was discussed, there weren't any significant changes requested. Study group goal is to define a document that is firm enough so that host end and target end implementations are possible. This means getting a Peripheral Device Qualifier (in standard INQUIRY) assignment, four command opcode/ service action assignments, and a VPD page assignment in addition to the detail in 12-034r2. John Lohmeyer suggested that this should be done within the context of an approved project, not just a study group proposal. The group suggested the need for more justification for the project, with explanation of areal density improvement that might be possible and other justifications. This information should be made available for The CAP meeting in July, under the agenda item for 12-010 (the project proposal for MDC). The telecon ended at 5:20 pm.
