•Automatic alternate block allocation at write operation

If AWRE flag in the MODE SELECT parameter permits the automatic alternate block allocation, the IDD executes the automatic alternate processing during WRITE command processing as described below:

1)Commands to be applied

-WRITE

-WRITE EXTEND

-WRITE at executing WRITE AND VERIFY

2)Application requirements

When any of the above commands is issued to LBA registered in the uncorrectable error log of the READ command (LBA log of uncorrectable error while the READ command is executed), the AWRE processing is applied.

3)AWRE processing

The following processings are performed when the LBA matches the one in the uncorrectable error log:

a)Primary media check

-Creates an uncorrectable error pattern (invalid LBA pattern) in the position of the error LBA, repeats the primary media check up to three times. If the error still occurs after the check repeated three times, it is judged to be defective. Then, it performs the alternate processing.

b)Alternate processing

-Alternate media check

Writes the data that causes an unrecoverable error into the alternate block, and performs the media check.

(If the alternate block is a defective sector, the block is registered to the G list, another alternate block is allocated.)

c)SA and defect map update processing (on alternate side)

When an error occurs in the alternate processing, this WRITE command terminates with error.

When the alternate processing normally terminates, the WRITE command is executed.

Depending on the alternate processing result, one of the following sense codes is returned:

Alternate processing is succeeded: 01-OC-01

Alternate medium is defective:	03-OC-01
Fatal error (SA write retry out):	03-OC-02
