Abstract
The storage enclosure includes a number of storage drives, each of which is physically coupled to each of two controllers in the storage enclosure. A memory location associated with the storage enclosure includes a value. The value provides an indicator for grouping the storage drives with one of the two controllers and disabling communications between each storage controller and the storage drives not associated with the controller.
