Status Flag definitions
Bit Definition
0 Pre-failure/advisory bit
0
An attribute value less than or equal to its corresponding attribute threshold indicates an
advisory condition where the usage or age of the device has exceeded its intended
design life period.
1 An attribute value less than or equal to its corresponding attribute threshold indicates a
pre-Failure condition where imminent loss of data is being predicted.
1 On-line Collective bit
0
The attribute value is updated only during Off-line testing.
1 The attribute value is updated during On-line testing or during both On-line and Off-line
testing.
2 - 5 Vendor specific
6 - 15 Reserved (0)
Normalized values
The device performs conversion of the raw attribute values to transform them into normalized values,
which the host can then compare with the threshold values. A threshold is the excursion limit for a
normalized attribute value.
11.33.2.3 Off-line Data Collection Status
The value of this byte defines the current status of the off-line activities of the device. Bit 7 indicates Auto-
matic Off-line Data Collection Status.
Bit 7 Automatic Off-line Data Collection Status
1 Automatic Off-line Data Collection is enabled
0 Automatic Off-line Data Collection is disabled
Bits 0 thru 6 represents a hexadecimal status value reported by the device.
Value Definition
0 Off-line data collection never started
2 All segments completed without errors
4 Off-line data collecting suspended by interrupting command
5 Off-line data collecting aborted by interrupting command
6 Off-line data collection aborted with fatal error
11.33.2.4 Self-test execution status
15 The self-test routine in progress
7 The self-test routine completed with read element failure
6 The self-test routine completed with servo element failure
5 The self-test routine completed with electrical element failure
4 The self-test routine completed with unknown element failure
3 The device was unable to complete the self-test routine due to a fatal error or to
unknown test error
2 The self-test routine interrupted by the host with a hard or soft reset
1 The self-test routine aborted by the host
0 The self-test routine completed without error or has not been run
Current Self-test execution status 4-7
Percent Self-test remaining. An approximate percentage of the self-test routine remain-
ing until completion; given in ten percent increments. Valid values are 0 through 9 0-3
