RECOVERED
ERROR
1) Indicates that the command which was executed last was
terminated normally with a recovery operation by the IDD. If
multiple errors which were successfully recovered from during
processing of a single command occurred, the last error to have
occurred is reported.
2) Rounding processing of the MODE SELECT parameter was
performed.
2
NOT READY
The disk drive is not in a state where it can be accessed.
3
MEDIUM
ERROR
An irrecoverable error was detected due to a defect in the disk media
or an error in the recorded data.
4
HARDWARE
ERROR
The IDD detected an error in the hardware for which recovery processing
is impossible during command execution or self-diagnosis.
5
ILLEGAL
REQUEST
An illegal value was detected in the parameter transferred in the CDB
or the specification in the command. Also, an error in the LUN
specification. If the IDD detects an illegal parameter in the CDB, it
terminates the command without changing the contents of the disk
media. If an illegal parameter is detected in the parameters
transferred from the INIT in the DATA OUT phase, the contents of
the disk media may be changed by that command.
6
UNIT
ATTENTION
A UNIT ATTENTION condition occurred. (See Section 1.5
concerning details of the UNIT ATTENTION condition.)

DATA
PROTECT
