Appendix D. Device Errors in AIX System Error Log

TSM logs certain device errors in the AIX system error log. This section provides a brief description of the device error. It also provides the detail data and a description of the data. For a detailed description of the AIX error logging facility and of the information contained within an error report, refer to AIX Version 4 Problem Solving Guide and Reference.

DEVICE ERROR and ERROR DESCRIPTION

ADSM_DD_LOG1 (0xAC3AB953)
DEVICE DRIVER SOFTWARE ERROR

This error is logged by the ADSM device driver when a problem is suspected in the ADSM device driver software. For example, if the ADSM device driver issues a SCSI I/O command with an illegal operation code the command fails and the error is logged with this identifier. Report this error immediately to ADSM support personnel.

Detail Data: Sense Data

The sense data consists of information that can determine the cause of the error. All data in the error entry should be reported to ADSM support personnel.

ADSM_DD_LOG2 (0x5680E405)
HARDWARE/COMMAND-ABORTED ERROR

This error is logged by the ADSM device driver when the device reports a particular hardware error or command-aborted error in response to a SCSI I/O command.

Detail Data: Sense Data

The sense data consists of information that can determine the exact cause of the error; in this case, which hardware component failed and why. To interpret the sense data for a particular device, refer to the device's SCSI specification manual.

ADSM_DD_LOG3 (0x461B41DE)
MEDIA ERROR

This error is logged by the ADSM device driver when a SCSI I/O command fails because of corrupted or incompatible media, or because a drive requires cleaning.

Detail Data: Sense Data

The sense data consists of information that can determine the exact cause of the error. To interpret the sense data for a particular device, refer to the device's SCSI specification manual.

ADSM_DD_LOG4 (0x4225DB66)
TARGET DEVICE GOT UNIT ATTENTION

This error is logged by the ADSM device driver after receiving certain UNIT ATTENTION notifications from a device. UNIT ATTENTIONs are informational and usually indicate that some state of the device has changed. For example, this error would be logged if the door of a library device was opened and then closed again. Logging this event indicates that the activity occurred and that the library inventory may have been changed.

Detail Data: Sense Data

The sense data consists of information that describes the reason for the UNIT ATTENTION. To interpret the sense data for a particular device, refer to the device's SCSI specification manual.

ADSM_DD_LOG5 (0xDAC55CE5)
PERMANENT UNKNOWN ERROR

This error is logged by the ADSM device driver after receiving an unknown error from a device in response to a SCSI I/O command. If the error persists, report it to ADSM support personnel.

Detail Data: Sense Data

The sense data consists of information that can determine the cause of the error. All data in the error entry should be reported to ADSM support personnel.

ADSM_DD_LOG6 (0xBC539B26)
WARNING OR INFORMATIONAL MESSAGE FOR TARGET DEVICE

This error is logged by the ADSM device driver after receiving a warning or informational message from a device in response to a SCSI I/O command. These are informational messages and may not be an indication of a problem. If the message persists, report it to ADSM support personnel.

Detail Data: Sense Data

The sense data consists of information that can determine the reason for the message. All data in the message entry should be reported to ADSM support personnel.
