ABSTRACT:
In a system including multiple enclosures, unique enclosure addresses can be set automatically via software. The enclosure addresses may be stored in non-volatile memory within the enclosures. In a storage system, several enclosures contain several disk drives, wherein each disk drive requires a unique device address related to the enclosure in which it resides. A unique address is automatically assigned via software to each enclosure.
