Unrecoverable hardware errors
Limited to cases in which a fatal hardware error occurs during execution of a command, and
termination processing such as a CHECK CONDITION status report cannot be executed, the
IDD may halt rotation of the spindle motor.
After this state occurs, the IDD reports the CHECK CONDITION status for all input/output
operation requests except the REQUEST SENSE command. The sense data reported at this
time indicate HARDWARE ERROR [=4] / Internal target failure [=44-nn]. If this state is
reported continuously for input/output operation requests, it is necessary for the INIT to
generate a RESET condition or send a BUS DEVICE RESET message and attempt to recover
from the error state.
2.8
Data Block Addressing
2.8.1
Definition of data space
The IDD divides the data storage area on the disk drive into the following two types of data
area and controls them as such.
•
User space: user data storage area
•
System space: IDD exclusive area
Of these two types, the use can clearly gain access to the user space. This space has the same
data formatting and defect control methods and it is possible to access it by logical data block
addressing, as described in item 2.8.2. The system space is accessed when the power is turned
on, or during processing of specific commands, but the user cannot access it directly.
Figure 2.10 shows the configuration of data space on the disk drive. The number of cylinders
allocated to user space can be specified by the user (by the MODE SELECT or MODE
SELECT EXTENDED command).
A spare sector area (replacement area) is assured in the user space for replacement of defective
sectors. The user can (using the MODE SELECT or MODE SELECT EXTENDED
command), allocate several sectors in the final track of each cylinder and several cylinders
(replacement cylinders) inside the user space (replacement cylinders) as the replacement area.
For defective sectors on the disk medium, through IDD internal defect management, data
blocks for replacement are assigned in defective sector units. Through this defect management,
the INIT can regard all the logical data blocks in the user space as error free and can access
them.
For details concerning the data format on the disk medium (cylinder configuration, track
format and sector format) as well as details on defect management methods and replacement
block assignment methods, see Chapter 3, “Data Format” in the “Product Manual”. Also, see
Chapter 6, “Management of the Disk Medium”, for an outline of defect management methods.
