Patent abstract
A method, device, and system are provided for the automatically assigning identification numbers or enclosure IDs to enclosures in a data storage system. Each enclosure is assigned a unique enclosure ID that can be used to reference the enclosure in the data storage system. The enclosure IDs are generated and assigned to enclosures based on the network topology. Specifically, each enclosure is assigned an enclosure ID that not only uniquely identifies the enclosure but the enclosure ID can be used to determine the location of the enclosure in the data storage system.
