21.21.3.3 Reassign Blocks Recovery
The Drive provides the capability to remove media defects without reducing capacity. If the mode parameter bit ARRE is
active, the Drive will automatically reallocate LBA's determined to be defective. For those LBA's where the error is unrecov-
erable or the initiator elects to not have the Drive automatically reallocate LBA's, the Drive will recommend reassignment of
the LBA.
Recovery from a failed reassignment consists of the following actions:
•
Updating the defect descriptor to remove the LBA's that have been successfully reassigned and then retry the Reas-
sign Blocks
command. The LBA contained in the Command Specific Information field of the Sense Data is the LBA
in the first defect descriptor that was not reassigned because of the failure. If the command failed because of an unre-
coverable read error other than those specified in the defect descriptor, add this LBA to the defect descriptor and retry
the command. Refer to Section 19.26, “REASSIGN BLOCKS (07)” on page 238, for additional information.
•
If the retried Reassign Blocks (07) command completes successfully, returning to normal processing.
•
If the retried Reassign Blocks (07) command fails, servicing the drive using the service guidelines recommended in
Section 21.21.1, “Drive Service Strategy” on page 339.
21.21.4 Nondata Error Recovery Procedure
The Drive will follow a logical recovery procedure for nondata errors. The initiator options for non-data errors are limited to
logging the error, retrying the failing command, or replacing the drive.
These recovery procedures assume the initiator practices data back-up and logs errors at the system level for interrogation by
service personnel.
21.21.4.1 Drive Busy
The Drive is busy performing an operation.
This is not an error condition.
The initiator can test for completion of the opera-
tion by issuing
Test Unit Ready (00)
(or media access) commands.
•
If the
Test Unit Ready (00)
(or media access) command completes with
Check Condition Status
then issue a
Request
Sense (03)
- If the specified recovery procedure for the sense data is for a condition other than drive busy, follow the recovery
procedure for the condition reported.
- If the specified recovery procedure for the sense data is for a drive busy condition, then continue re-issuing the
Test
Unit Ready (00)
and
Request Sense
commands for the duration of a media access time-out or until the drive returns
Good Statu
s.
- If the drive has been busy for longer than the limit specified in Section 21.20, “Command Time out Limits” on
page 337, then service the drive using the service guidelines recommended in Section 21.21.1, “Drive Service
Strategy” on page 339. Otherwise return to normal processing.
•
If the
Test Unit Ready (00)
(or media access) command completes with
Good Statu
s, then return to normal process-
ing.
21.21.4.2 Unrecovered Drive Error
The initiator should retry the failing command.
1. If the retry of the failing command completes with
Good Status
or recovered Sense Key, follow the recovery procedure
in Section 21.21.4.3, “Recovered Drive Error” on page 343.
2. If the retry of the failing command completes with hardware error sense, verify there is no outside cause (e.g., power
supply) for the failure, then retry the failing command.
a. If the retry of the failing command completes with
Good Statu
s, follow the recovery procedure in next Section
21.21.4.3, “Recovered Drive Error” on page 343.
b. If the retry of the failing command completes with Recovered sense or Hardware error sense, then service the drive
using the service guideline recommended in Section 21.21.1, “Drive Service Strategy” on page 339.
