SES-2 Enclosure Management - Thresholds

Thresholds

Like SES, SES-2 establishes two types of thresholds for elements with limited sensing capability, like voltage, temperature, current etcetera: critical and warning. So for example in the case of temperature we may have:

  • High critical threshold: 57c
  • High warning threshold: 50c
  • Low warning threshold: 7c
  • Low critical threshold: 0c

When managed values fall within the warning range, the SES-2 processor will communicate a warning signal to the application client, typically a Host Bus Adapter (HBA). When values fall outside acceptable ranges, depending from the commands supported by the device server, the sense code shall be HARDWARE FAILURE or ENCLOSURE FAILURE.
