vAttention Messages
Attention (ATTN) messages indicate error conditions that customer personnel may be able to resolve. For example, the operator can correct the ATTN ACF message with a supplemental message of Magazine not locked.
vRoutine Messages
Routine Messages consist of messages that are received from the host through the SCSI Display Message command (for example, Mount), and messages from the device (for example, *CLEAN).
To generate the Clean message, the device monitors the number of megabytes that are processed and the number of nonpermanent errors for each drive. When either of these factors reaches a threshold, the device displays a Clean message. The clean message is maintained across device
The routine messages that are received through the Display Message command consist of mount messages, demount messages, and general (custom) messages.
The routine messages usually refer to the priority cell. Actions that are automatically handled by the ACF usually occur without the display of an operator message. The initiator can generate these messages. If, however, the device microcode detects that the ACF will automatically perform the action requested, any corresponding message is suppressed.
vFID2 Messages
A FID2 message indicates that the drive is in a degraded state. For example, FID2 E4 could indicate that one SCSI port has a fault. The drive is usable, but is in a less available state.
vFID3 Messages
A FID3 message indicates that the drive is in a degraded state. The drive is usable, but is in a more available state than for a FID2 type of fault.
