Supported Message Functions - IBM IC35L036UWDY10 - Ultrastar 36.7 GB Hard Drive Specifications

10.2 Supported Message Functions

The implementation of the supported messages will also include the following functions.
! Retry SCSI Command or STATUS phase
The retry will be caused by the following error condition.
- The drive detected SCSI bus parity error (COMMAND phase)
- The drive receives INITIATOR DETECTED ERROR MESSAGE during or at the conclusion of an
information transfer phase (Command Data Out or Status Phase)
Note: The initiator may send the INITIATOR DETECTED ERROR message as a result of an initiator
detected SCSI Bus parity error or an internal error.
! Retry MESSAGE IN phase
The retry will be caused by the receipt of a MESSAGE PARITY ERROR message or INITIATOR
DETECTED ERROR message immediately following a MESSAGE IN phase.
Note: The Initiator may send the MESSAGE PARITY ERROR message as a result of an Initiator
detected SCSI Bus parity error during the MESSAGE IN phase. The initiator may send the INITIATOR
DETECTED ERROR message as a result of an Initiator detected an internal error during the
MESSAGE IN phase.
! Receipt of multiple Identify message
- The initiator is allowed to send multiple IDENTIFY messages out in order to toggle the discon-
nect/reconnect permission bit. This may be used to selectively enable or disable disconnect/
reconnect permission during portions of a command. Note that this function does not affect the
operation of the Forced Disconnect function.
! MESSAGE REJECT during Drive Disconnection
- If the Initiator rejects the SAVE DATA POINTER message, the drive will disable disconnect/
reconnect permission. This is equivalent to receiving an IDENTIFY message with bit 6 equal to
zero. This will cause the drive to inhibit the pending disconnection.
- If the initiator rejects the DISCONNECT message, the drive will not disconnect but may attempt to
disconnect at a later time. This function may be used to selectively disable disconnection during
portions of a command.
