SCSI Sense Codes

 

HP 9000

The following example shows a typical SCSI error message:

[+6708 72410001 002a9858 0:7] scsi disk: CHECK CONDITION on disk 0:6:5:0

Read of logical block 509856, count 128

 

disk sd45a, block 254920, 65536 bytes

 

Valid = 1, Error

code = 0x70

 

Segment number =

0x00, Filemark = 0, EOM = 0, ILI = 0

Sense key = 0x1,

"RECOVERED ERROR"

 

Information = 0x00 0x07 0xc7 0xe4

 

[+6709 72410001 002a9a10 0:7] scsi disk:

Additional sense length = 0x0a

Command-specific

information = 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00

Additional sense

= 0x18, Qualifier = 0x01

Field replaceable unit code = 0xea

 

SKSV = 1, C/D = 0, BPV = 0, Bit pointer = 0

Field pointer = 0x0003

 

 

The status (CHECK CONDITION) and sense key (RECOVERED

 

ERROR)—shown in bold in the example above—are interpreted for you

 

in the error message text. Each Additional sense and its corresponding

 

Qualifier code—shown in bold in the example above—require

 

interpretation on your part. Use the two codes together to determine the

 

meaning. In the example above, the Additional sense (0x18) and

 

Qualifier (0x01) codes together mean “recovered data with error

 

correction and retries applied.” You can look up the various codes and

 

keys in the tables on the next pages.

MPE/iX

Use the CSTM tool to look at hardware error information. Information

 

about CSTM can be found in the article “TERMDSM: User Interface

 

Change undre System Diagnostics” in the “Communicator 3000 MPE/iX

 

Release 6.5”. http://docs.hp.com/mpeix/pdf/30216-90291.pdf
