SCSI Error Identifiers for the Error Log

This category of identifiers contains the following error labels:

SCSI ERR1   SCSI ERR2   SCSI ERR3
SCSI ERR4   SCSI ERR5   SCSI ERR6
SCSI ERR7   SCSI ERR8   SCSI ERR9
SCSI ERR10

Go back to the categories of Error Identifiers.

SCSI ERR1

Error Description: ADAPTER ERROR

This error is logged by the SCSI adapter device driver in the event of a permanent hardware error involving the SCSI adapter, the system I/O bus and related hardware, or both. Either these errors cannot be retried, or all allowed retries have been exhausted. It is unlikely that any operations to the SCSI adapter can continue after one of these errors.

DETAIL DATA

Adapter Return Code: The sense data consists of failure data, which is analyzed by the Diagnostic Programs.

SCSI ERR2

Error Description: ADAPTER ERROR

This error is logged by the SCSI adapter device driver in the event of a potentially catastrophic hardware error involving the SCSI adapter, the system input/output bus and its related hardware, or both. Either these errors cannot be retried, or all allowed retries have been exhausted. Since these errors are not necessarily catastrophic, operations may or may not continue successfully after the error.

Refer to the Detail Data under SCSI ERR1.

SCSI ERR3

Error Description: MICROCODE PROGRAM ERROR

This error is logged by the SCSI adapter device driver in the event of a permanent unknown adapter microcode error. Either these errors cannot be retried, or all allowed retries have been exhausted. It is unlikely that any operations to the SCSI adapter can continue after one of these errors.

Refer to the Detail Data under SCSI ERR1.

SCSI ERR4

Error Description: MICROCODE PROGRAM ERROR

This error is logged by the SCSI adapter device driver in the event of a potentially catastrophic unknown adapter microcode error. Either these errors cannot be retried, or all allowed retries have been exhausted. Since these errors are not necessarily catastrophic, operations may or may not continue successfully after the error.

Refer to the Detail Data under SCSI ERR1.

SCSI ERR5

Error Description: SOFTWARE PROGRAM ERROR

This error is logged by the SCSI adapter device driver in the event of a permanent catastrophic device driver logic error. Either these errors cannot be retried, or all allowed retries have been exhausted. It is unlikely that any operations to the SCSI driver can continue after one of these errors.

Refer to the Detail Data under SCSI ERR1.

SCSI ERR6

Error Description: SOFTWARE PROGRAM ERROR

This error is logged by the SCSI adapter device driver in the event of a potentially catastrophic device driver logic error. Either these errors cannot be retried, or all allowed retries have been exhausted. Since these errors are not necessarily catastrophic, operations may or may not continue successfully after the error.

Refer to the Detail Data under SCSI ERR1.

SCSI ERR7

Error Description: UNDETERMINED ERROR

This error is logged by the SCSI adapter device driver in the event of a potentially permanent kernel service routine failure. Either these errors cannot be retried, or all allowed retries have been exhausted. It is unlikely that any operations to the SCSI adapter device driver can continue after one of these errors.

Refer to the Detail Data under SCSI ERR1.

SCSI ERR8

Error Description: UNDETERMINED ERROR

This error is logged by the SCSI adapter device driver in the event of a potentially permanent kernel service routine failure. Either these errors cannot be retried, or all allowed retries have been exhausted. Since these errors are not necessarily catastrophic, operations may or may not continue successfully after the error.

Refer to the Detail Data under SCSI ERR1.

SCSI ERR9

Error Description: POTENTIAL DATA LOSS CONDITION

This error indicates that there may be downlevel SCSI equipment installed. A potential data loss condition is possible.

SCSI ERR10

Error Description: TEMPORARY SCSI BUS ERROR

This error is logged by the SCSI device driver in the event of a potentially catastrophic SCSI bus error including cabling, device adapter, or related hardware. Since these errors are not necessarily catastrophic, operations may or may not continue successfully after the error.
