Figure 6 - 10: Set SAF-TE and SES Check Time

If there are remote components in your RAID enclosure being

controlled via SAF-TE/S.E.S. devices, use this function to select how

often the controller will check the status of these devices. Choose

“Periodic SAF-TE and SES Device Check Time”; then press

[ENTER]. Move the cursor to the desired interval, then press

[ENTER]. Choose Yes in the dialog box that follows to confirm the

setting.

Unless there is an I

C link between enclosures, there must be a valid

check time when multiple enclosures are cascaded together; e.g., an

EonStor A16F-R RAID subsystem connected to expansion JBOD

enclosures using Fibre links. Infortrend’s Fibre-to-SATA JBODs

simulate a Fibre Channel device ID and appears as a device on the

FC links.

6.3.1 Enclosure Devices Status: View Peripheral Device

Status

Select “View and edit Peripheral Devices” on the Main Menu and

press [ENTER]. Choose “View Peripheral Device Status,” then

press [ENTER] again. The device list displays.

Below is a list of peripheral devices (enclosure modules) supported

by enclosure monitoring. Monitoring of device status depends on

enclosure implementation and is accessed through different

interfaces, e.g., SAF-TE, S.E.S., or I

C serial bus.
