Maxtor 10K V manual 170Supported Sense Keys, Sense Key Code Description

		Table 5-170Supported Sense Keys
Sense Key	Code	Description
		There is no specific sense key information to be reported for the designated logical unit.
NO SENSE	0h	This is the case for a successful command or a command that received CHECK CON-
		DITION or COMMAND TERMINATED status because one of the following bits is set
		to 1: File Mark, EOM, or ILI.
RECOV-		The last command completed successfully with some recovery action performed by the
		drive. Details may be contained in the additional sense bytes and the Information field.
ERED ER-	1h
		When multiple recovered errors occur during one command, the choice of which error
ROR
		to report (first, last, most severe, etc.) is device specific.
NOT READY	2h	The logical unit cannot be accessed. Operator intervention may be required to correct
		this condition.
MEDIUM		The command terminated with a non-recovered error condition that was probably
	3h	caused by a flaw in the medium or an error in the recorded data. This sense key can also
ERROR		be returned if the drive is unable to distinguish between a flaw in the medium and a spe-
		cific hardware failure (Sense Key
HARDWARE	4h	The drive detected a non-recoverable hardware failure while performing the command
ERROR		or during a self-test. The error type could be controller failure, device failure, etc.
		The drive detected an illegal parameter in the Command Descriptor Block or in the ad-
ILLEGAL		ditional parameters supplied as data for some commands. If the drive detects an invalid
	5h	parameter in the Command Descriptor Block, it terminates the program without altering
REQUEST		the medium. If the drive detects an invalid parameter in the additional parameters sup-
		plied as data, the drive may have already altered the medium. This sense key may also
		indicate that an invalid IDENTITY message was received.
		The drive generates this sense key whenever the drive is reset by a TARGET RESET
		message, a hard reset condition, or by a power-on reset. Other conditions that generate
		a UNIT ATTENTION include:
		• The mode parameters in effect for this initiator have been changed by another initia-
		tor.
UNIT	6h	• The microcode has been changed.
ATTENTION		• Tagged commands queued for this initiator were cleared by another initiator.
		• INQUIRY data has been changed.
		• The mode parameters in effect for the initiator have been restored from non-volatile
		memory.
		• Other events that require the attention of the initiator.
DATA	7h	A Read or Write command was attempted on a sector that is protected for this operation.
PROTECT		The requested operation was not performed.
VENDOR	9h	This sense key is used to report specific Maxtor conditions.
SPECIFIC
ABORTED	Bh	The drive aborted the command. The initiator may be able to reissue the command suc-
COMMAND		cessfully.
MISCOM-	Eh	The source data did not match the data read from the medium (i.e., a mismatch).
