The meaning of these bytes is summarized in Table 3–4.
Table 3–4 Type 1 Disk Drive Error Log Bytes
Byte
Description
0
Indicates the type of error log:
•
01
is a type 1 error log
•
02
is a type 2 error log
1
The hexadecimal number of SCSI command that was being executed
when the error occurred. Refer to the SCSI documentation for a listing of
SCSI commands. In the example, the number 28 indicates that the SCSI
command being executed was a READ EXTENDED.
4 and 5
A hexadecimal number to indicate the type of port error encountered.
Refer to Table 3–2 for a listing of port error codes. In the example, the
error code 800E indicates that the error was a hung bus timeout.
6 through 12
The phase history leading up to the error. The bytes preceding the end
marker ‘‘FF’’ represent the phases that the SCSI bus went through before
encountering the error. Refer to Table 3–3 for a listing of SCSI bus phases.
In the example, the ‘‘01’’ in byte 7 indicates that the error occurred in the
Data In phase.
