|
|
| |
18 | 1) | Issue the MODE SENSE or MODE SENSE EXTENDED command and confirm the | |
|
| values of the disk media data format related parameters (Block descriptor, Page 3: | |
|
| Format parameters, Page 4: Drive parameters). | |
| 2) | If the parameter values are correct, issue the FORMAT UNIT command and initialize | |
|
| the entire disk media surface. (Note) | |
| 3) | If the parameter values are not correct, issue a MODE SELECT or MODE SELECT | |
|
| EXTENDED command and reset the necessary parameters, then reinitialize the entire | |
|
| disk media surface by the FORMAT UNIT command. (Note) | |
| Note In a system where multiple INITs are connected together, an error may have been | ||
|
| reported due to a MODE SELECT or MODE SELECT EXTENDED command, or a | |
|
| FORMAT UNIT command issued by another INIT, so before executing this recovery | |
|
| method, it is necessary to confirm the operations of the other INITs. | |
|
| ||
19 | Initialize the entire disk media surface. It is desirable at this time to increase the number of | ||
| spare sectors as much as possible. If this error occurs repeatedly, it is necessary to perform | ||
| alternate block allocation processing through the system (shown in Chapter 6) or reconfirm | ||
| the use conditions of the disk drive, such as the installation environment. | ||
|
|
| |
20 | 1) | Reissue the original command (Retry). | |
| 2) | If it doesn't recover after 10 retries, perform recovery method 13. | |
|
|
| |
21 | 1) | Issue the MODE SENSE or MODE SENSE EXTENDED command and read the | |
|
| "Current" values in the MODE SELECT parameters. | |
| 2) | If the parameters' 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. | |
|
| ||
22 | Reissue the original command (Retry). | ||
|
|
| |
23 | 1) | If it is necessary to reestablish rotational synchronization, issue the MODE SELECT or | |
|
| MODE SELECT EXTENDED command (specify by Page 4, byte 17). | |
| 2) | Reissue the original command (Retry). | |
|
|
| |
24 | 1) | Issue the READ or READ EXTENDED command and read the data for the block | |
|
| where the error occurred. | |
| 2) | Investigate the cause of the data not matching and perform data recovery processing | |
|
| from the INIT. |
|
|
| ||
25 | Reissue the original command (Retry). It is desirable at this time to confirm the operations | ||
| of the other INITs. |
