Abstract: A process and system for virtually managing enclosures. A process determines whether a system includes an enclosure processor, a virtual enclosure processor, or both an enclosure processor and a virtual enclosure processor. The process receives a command by a virtual enclosure processor if it is determined that the system includes the virtual enclosure processor. The virtual enclosure processor manages a peripheral in an enclosure. Additionally, a process activates a virtual enclosure processor in a system including a real enclosure processor. The virtual enclosure processor receives a command. The virtual enclosure processor controls a peripheral.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is provided that may include determining, at least in part, at an intermediate station one or more locations in storage devices of one or more respective portions of check data and/or other data. The check data may be generated, at least in part, at the intermediate station based at least in part upon the other data. This method also may include determining, at least in part, at the intermediate station, based at least in part upon forwarding information, one or more ports of the intermediate station via which to forward one or more packets. The one or more packets may be generated at the intermediate station based at least in part upon one or more other packets received via one or more other ports of the intermediate station. The other packets may comprise the check data and/or other data.

Abstract: A method according to one embodiment may include discovering at least one ATA/ATAPI target device. The method of this embodiment may also include discovering a SAS address for at the least one ATA/ATAPI target device. The method of this embodiment may also include returning the SAS address for the at least one ATA/ATAPI target device in response to a device inquiry command. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to guarantee unique connection tags across resets in a connection protocol. In one embodiment, the methods include the update of a reset counter following a system reset. In one embodiment, once updated, a controller, such as, for example, an input/output (I/O) controller, may receive a response from a target device to an I/O request that was issued to the target device prior to system reset. In one embodiment, the I/O controller may determine a reset counter value associated with the received response. If the received response includes a reset counter value that does not match a local reset counter held by the I/O controller, the I/O controller may disregard the received response. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
