Abstract
An apparatus comprising one or more enclosures and a controller. The one or more enclosures may each comprise one or more drives. The controller may be configured to map correctly correlating addresses to one or more drives. An advantageous aspect of the present invention is the ability to support general enclosure wiring when associating data with physical devices, such as associating SES data with physical devices on a fiber channel loop with soft addresses.
