7.6.4 Reporting function

If failure is predicted, the HDD notifies the INIT of failure prediction at the specified time intervals by the reporting method specified by the MODE SELECT parameter on Page 1C as described in Section 5.1.11.

This reporting to the INIT begins when failure is predicted. Later, each time the HDD is initialized at power-on by a reset operation or for another reason, a warning is issued again to the INIT. If Page "1C" is specified in the MODE SELECT command, a warning will be issued based on the settings that are in effect at that time.

If the number of reports specified in the "Report Count" field have been completed or one of the events below occurs while reporting is in progress, warning processing resumes based on the mode parameter that is in effect at that time.

Power-off or re-power-on

Reset condition

MODE SELECT command (Page 1C)

In a multiple-initiator environment, failure prediction reports are issued to each INIT. The reporting interval and count are specified and managed for each INIT.
