6.1 Diagnostics

The IDD does not reply to the loop for up to 2 seconds after the initial self-diagnostics is started. After that, the IDD can accept the I/O operation request correctly, but the received command, except the executable commands under the not ready state (such as INQUIRY, START/STOP UNIT), is terminated with the CHECK CONDITION status (NOT READY [=2]/Logical unit is in process of becoming ready [=04-01] or Logical unit not ready, initializing command required [=04-02]) during the interval from the spindle motor becomes stable to the IDD becomes ready. The executable command under the not ready state is executed in parallel with the initial self-diagnostics, or is queued by the command queuing feature and is executed after completion of the initial self- diagnostics. When the command that comes under the exception condition of the command queuing is issued at that time, the IDD posts the BUSY status for the command. When the error is detected during the initial self-diagnostics, the CHECK CONDITION status is posted for all commands that were stacked during the initial self-diagnostics. For the command execution condition, refer to Section 1.4 and Subsection 1.7.4 in Fibre Channel Interface Specifications.

(2)Online self-diagnostics (SEND DIAGNOSTIC command)

The INIT can make the IDD execute self-diagnostics by issuing the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command.

The INIT specifies the execution of self-diagnostics by setting 1 for the SelfTest bit on the CDB in the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command and specifies the test contents with the UnitOfl bit.

When the UnitOfl bit on the CDB is set to 0, the IDD executes the hardware function test only once. When UnitOfl bit is set to 1, the IDD executes the hardware function test, seek (positioning) test, and data write/read test for the Internal test space only once.

a.Error recovery during self-diagnostics

During the self-diagnostics specified by the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command, when the recoverable error is detected during the seek or the write/read test, the IDD performs the error recovery according to the MODE SELECT parameter value (read/write error recovery parameter, additional error recovery parameter) which the INIT specifies at the time of issuing the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command.

PER

Operation of self-diagnostics

0The self-diagnostics continues when the error is recovered. The self- diagnostics terminates normally so far as the unrecoverable error is not detected.

1The self-diagnostics continues when the error is recovered. If the unrecoverable error is not detected, the consecutive tests are executed till last test but the self-diagnostics terminates with error. The error information indicates that of the last recovered error.

b.Reporting result of self-diagnostics and error indication

When all specified self-diagnostics terminate normally, the IDD posts the GOOD status for the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command.

When an error is detected in the self-diagnostics, the IDD terminates the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command with the CHECK CONDITION status.

MAP3735FC, MAP3147FC specifications

Fujitsu has been a prominent player in the hard disk drive market, with its MAP3147FC and MAP3735FC models standing out in terms of performance and reliability. These drives are engineered to meet the growing demands of enterprise applications, providing robust solutions for data storage in critical environments.

The Fujitsu MAP3147FC, with a capacity of 147 GB, is optimized for high-speed data access and storage efficiency. This 3.5-inch SCSI drive operates at a rotational speed of 15,000 RPM, ensuring rapid data retrieval and minimized latency, making it ideal for applications requiring quick transaction processing. It features a 4 Gbps Fibre Channel interface, which enhances connectivity and system integration, promoting seamless communication between devices in storage area networks.

On the other hand, the MAP3735FC model offers a higher capacity of 300 GB. It shares similar specifications with its counterpart, including the 15,000 RPM speed, which guarantees top-notch performance for mission-critical applications. The MAP3735FC, like the MAP3147FC, incorporates advanced technologies such as Command Queuing, which optimizes the execution of multiple read and write commands in a queue. This feature is particularly beneficial in environments with high I/O demands, improving overall system throughput and efficiency.

Both drives utilize sophisticated error correction techniques, ensuring data integrity and reliability. They are equipped with features like S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology), which continuously monitors the health of the drives and helps predict potential failures, allowing for proactive maintenance and data protection.

In terms of physical characteristics, both models are designed to withstand the rigors of continuous operation. They are built with a rugged casing to protect against vibration and shock, making them suitable for use in enterprise-level servers and storage systems. Their design also allows for efficient heat dissipation, which is critical for maintaining optimal performance during extended use.

In summary, Fujitsu's MAP3147FC and MAP3735FC hard drives embody a combination of high speed, reliability, and advanced features tailored for enterprise environments. Their robust performance, large storage capacities, and reliable error correction technologies make them an excellent choice for businesses looking to optimize their data storage solutions and ensure seamless operation in demanding applications. With Fujitsu's commitment to quality and innovation, these models continue to meet the evolving needs of the data storage industry.
