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

The INIT should issue the REQUEST SENSE command when the CHECK CONDITION status is posted. The sense data collected by the REQUEST SENSE command indicates the detail information of the error detected in the self-diagnostics.

The IDD status after the CHECK CONDITION status is posted differs according to the type of the detected error.

a)When an error is detected in the seek or write/read test, the subsequent command can be accepted correctly. When the command other than the REQUEST SENSE and NO OPERATION is issued from the same INIT, the error information (sense data) is cleared.

b)When an error is detected in the hardware function test, the IDD posts the CHECK CONDITION status for all I/O operation request except the REQUEST SENSE command. The error status is not cleared even if the error information (sense data) is read. Only when the power is turned off or re-turned on, the status can be cleared. When this status is cleared, the IDD executes the initial self-diagnostics again (see item (1)).

Refer to Chapter 3 of SCSI Logical Interface Specifications for further details of the command specifications.

CAUTION

Data loss

When the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command terminates with the CHECK CONDITION status, the INIT must collect the error information using the REQUEST SENSE command. The RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS command cannot read out the error information detected in the self-diagnostics.

6.1.2Test programs

The basic operations of the IDD itself can be checked with the self-diagnostic function. However, to check general operations such as the host system and interface operations in a status similar to the normal operation status, a test program that runs on the host system must be used.

The structure and functions of the test program depend on the user system requirements. Generally, it is recommended to provide a general input/output test program that includes SCSI devices connected to the SCSI bus and input/output devices on other I/O ports.

Including the following test items in the test program is recommended to test the IDD functions generally.

MAP3735NC/NP, MAP3367NC/NP, MAP3147NC/NP specifications

Fujitsu's MAP3147NC/NP, MAP3367NC/NP, and MAP3735NC/NP hard disk drives represent a robust solution for businesses seeking reliable data storage options. These models are part of Fujitsu’s extensive line of high-performance hard drives that cater to various organizational needs, from servers to high-capacity data storage systems.

One of the standout features of these hard drives is their speed. The MAP3147NC/NP operates at a spindle speed of 10,000 RPM, ensuring rapid data access and retrieval. This speed is essential for environments requiring quick data transactions, making it suitable for enterprise-level databases and high-performance computing applications.

The capacity range across these models is designed to meet varying storage requirements. The MAP3147NC offers 147 GB, while the MAP3367NC provides 67 GB, and the MAP3735NC boasts a generous capacity of 35 GB. This diversity allows organizations to select the drive that best fits their data storage and performance needs while maintaining a scalable storage solution.

In terms of technology, the drives incorporate advanced features such as Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which enhances data throughput and reliability compared to traditional Parallel SCSI interfaces. SAS technology enables these drives to support multiple device connections while ensuring high-performance throughput, essential for modern enterprise environments.

The drives employ a 64 MB cache, providing a significant performance boost by allowing for quicker access to frequently used data. This capability improves overall system responsiveness, especially in applications requiring high input/output operations per second (IOPS).

Moreover, the MAP3147NC/NP, MAP3367NC/NP, and MAP3735NC/NP series are designed with data integrity in mind. They include features such as Error Correction Code (ECC) and background error scanning, which work together to maintain the integrity of stored data and minimize the risk of data loss.

In conclusion, Fujitsu’s MAP3147NC/NP, MAP3367NC/NP, and MAP3735NC/NP hard disk drives provide a blend of performance, capacity, and reliability. With their fast spindle speeds, robust data throughput via SAS technology, and enhanced cache memory, these drives are ideal for enterprises requiring durable and efficient data storage solutions in high-demand environments. As organization needs evolve, these drives offer scalability and reliability to support diverse applications and workloads.
