SCSI Sense Codes
Appendix A94
The following example shows a typical SCSI error message:
[[phone]a9858 0:7] scsi disk: CHECK CONDITION on disk 0:6:5:0
Read of logical block 509856, count 128
disk sd45a, block 254920, 65536 bytes
Valid = 1, Error code = 0x70
Segment number = 0x00, Filemark = 0, EOM = 0, ILI = 0
Sense key = 0x1, "RECOVERED ERROR"
Information = 0x00 0x07 0xc7 0xe4
[[phone]a9a10 0:7] scsi disk: Additional sense length = 0x0a
Command-specific information = 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
Additional sense = 0x18, Qualifier = 0x01
Field replaceable unit code = 0xea
SKSV = 1, C/D = 0, BPV = 0, Bit pointer = 0
Field pointer = 0x0003
The status (CHECK CONDITION) and sense key (RECOVERED
ERROR)—shown in bold in the example above, for highlighting
purposes—are interpreted for you in the error message text. Each
Additional sense and its corresponding Qualifier code—also shown in
bold in the example above—require interpretation on your part. Use the
two codes together to determine the meaning. In the example above, the
Additional sense (0x18) and Qualifier (0x01) codes together mean
“recovered data with error correction and retries applied.” You can look
up the various codes and keys in the tables on the next pages.
