Code

Name

Description

 

 

This code will be reported for the following conditions:

 

 

In a Board-control Parameter Block: code used in the

 

 

Command field is not a valid Board-control command. Occurs when

 

 

Target/Adapter ID field is equal to FFH (indicating a Board-control

01H

Invalid Command

command).

In a Pass-through Parameter Block: An invalid tag type was

 

 

 

 

specified in the Flags-2 field, or an invalid count or address was

 

 

specified.

 

 

In a Message Pass-through Parameter Block: A non-

 

 

supported message was specified for a SCSI operation.

 

 

This code will be reported for the following conditions:

 

 

Target/Adapter ID field: The value specified in the Target/

 

 

Adapter ID field of a Parameter Block was not valid (valid values

 

 

are 00H-0FH and FFH).

 

 

In a Pass-through Parameter Block: The value specified in the

 

 

Target ID field is the same as the SCSI ID assigned to the RF3880.

 

 

This is not a valid SCSI ID to issue commands to.

02H

Bad Unit Number

In a Pass-through Parameter Block: the value used in the LUN

field of the SCSI command contained in the Parameter Block is

 

 

invalid. (Valid values are 00H-07H.)

 

 

In General Options Parameter Block: the value specified in

 

 

the SCSI Bus ID field (used to designate an RF3880 SCSI ID other

 

 

than that set with jumpers) is invalid. (Valid values are 00H-0FH.)

 

 

In Unit Options or Extended Unit Options Parameter

 

 

Block: Value specified in the Unit SCSI ID field was invalid. (Valid

 

 

values are any number between and including 00H and 0FH, not

 

 

being used by the RF3880.)

 

 

This code will be reported when the Start Command List

 

 

command terminates for the following reasons:

0FH

Bad Command List

- Number of Parameter Blocks field contains invalid value. (Valid

 

Size

values are 2-2034.)

 

 

- Number of Status Blocks field contains invalid value. (Valid values

 

 

are 2 -4096.)

 

 

This code is returned under these conditions:

 

 

- Parameter Block In (PBIN) index exceeded the number of

*10H

Bad Command List

Parameter Blocks that can be in the list.

 

Index

- Status Block Out (SBOUT) index exceeded the number of Status

 

 

Blocks that can be in the list.

 

 

- A VME bus error occurred while accessing the Status Block list.

 

 

 

 

 

This code is returned under these conditions:

 

 

Start Command List command issued when a command list is

 

State wrong for Start/

already active.

*11H Stop Command List

Stop Command List command issued when no command list is

 

command

presently active.

 

 

Command List Channel Attention issued when no Command

 

 

List is active.

*14H

General Firmware

The adapter times each of its transfers; it will report this error if a

VMEbus transfer takes too long to complete. On the VMEbus, this

Timeout

 

 

error can occur for transfers of parameters as well as transfers of data.

*15H

VMEbus Error

A VMEbus error was detected while the adapter was transferring

 

Occurred

either parameters or data.

 

 

For Pass-through operations, this error will be reported if a SCSI

1DH SCSI General Timeoutoperation takes too long to complete.

 

 

For Pass-through operations, this code is reported when no SCSI

1EH

SCSI Select Timeout

device responds to the selection sequence within the timeout period.

The timeout period is specified in the Unit Options command or

 

 

Extended Unit Options command.

 

 

For Pass-through commands, this code is reported when a

1FH

SCSI Disconnect

disconnected SCSI device does not reselect the adapter within the

Timeout

timeout period. The timeout period is specified in the Unit Options

 

 

command or Extended Unit Options command.

 

 

For Pass-through operations, this code is reported for any SCSI

20H

SCSI Parity Error

information transfer (message, command, data or status) that results

 

 

in a parity error
