1)

Issue the LOG SENSE command and read the "Current" values of the LOG SELECT

 

 

parameters.

 

 

2)

Search for any parameter values which exceed the threshold value or have reached the

 

 

maximum value, then issue the LOG SELECT command from the INIT and perform

 

 

resetting.

 

 

3)

Reissue the original command.

 

 

 

27

1)

Issue the INQUIRY command and read the operation mode information.

 

2)

If the parameter values are appropriate, reissue the original command.

 

Note This error could also be caused by a UNIT ATTENTION condition being generated,

 

 

caused by a programming error of another INIT, so when the values in the parameters

 

 

read in ( are illegal, recovery method 2 should be performed, or the operations of the

 

 

other INITs should be confirmed.

 

 

 

 

5.2.3Error logging

In order to collect information that is effective in maintenance, it is desirable for the INIT to accumulate (log) error information related to the SCSI bus which it has detected itself (BUS FREE error, command completion wait time-out, etc.) and error information reported by the IDD.

By specifying "1" in the PER bit in the "Read/Write Error Recovery parameter (Page 1) and the "Verify Error Recovery parameter (Page 7) of the MODE SELECT or MODE SELECT EXTENDED command, the INIT can know of the occurrence of errors which were recovered from successfully by the IDD's internal error recovery processing and their contents. By logging that error information, the INIT can obtain data for more detailed analysis of the disk drive's operating condition.

Concerning the contents of the error log, it is recommended that the data have a time stamp affixed so that they can be edited in a time series of the times the errors were detected, and that they include the following information.

ξThe source which issued the command and the SCSI ID of the SCSI device which was the target of the command.

ξThe CDB which was issued.

ξThe receiving status, or, when the status was that the command could not be received, the code showing the type of error detected by the INIT and its content.

ξAll bytes reported by the IDD.
