Disk channel errors
Disk channel errors are similar to disk-detected errors, except they are detected
by the controller, instead of the drive. Some disk channel errors are displayed
as text strings, others are displayed as hexadecimal values.
The following illustration shows a disk channel error displaying the
hexadecimal codes. Most disk channel errors are informational because the
controller issues retries to correct any problem. Errors that cannot be corrected
with retries will result in another critical event.
