SCSI Description
5-66 Maxtor Atlas 10K III
Table 5-82
Codes Used by the MRIE Field
Report
Count
1
The value contained in this field indicates the number of times to report an
informational exception condition to the application client. A value of 0 in
this field indicates there is no limit on the number of times the disk drive will
report an informational exception condition.
Each time the disk drive detects a SMART failure, the SMART status is re-
ported the number of times indicated by the value of the Report Count field.
The disk drive then resets its cumulative values and continues with its pre-
dicting activity. The SMART threshold trip remains permanent (or until a
LOG SELECT command clears it) and can be retrieved at any time using
MRIE mode 6.
NOTE: The Report Count field does not apply to MRIE mode 6.

0h
No reporting of informational exception condition. This method instructs the disk drive not
to report these conditions.
1h
Asynchronous Event Reporting. This method of reporting instructs the disk drive to report
informational exception conditions by using the rules for asynchronous event reporting as
described in the SCSI-3 Architecture Model and the relevant Protocol Standard. The sense
key will be set to RECOVERED ERROR and the additional sense code will indicate the cause
of the informational exception condition.
2h
Generate Unit Attention. This method of reporting instructs the disk drive to report infor-
mational exception conditions by returning a CHECK CONDITION status on any command.
The sense key is set to UNIT ATTENTION and the additional sense code will indicate the
cause of the information exception condition. The command that has the CHECK CONDI-
TION will not be executed before the informational exception condition is reported.
3h
Conditionally Generate Recovered Error. This method of reporting instructs the disk drive to
report informational exception conditions dependent on the value of the PER bit of the Error
Recovery Parameters Mode Page, by returning a CHECK CONDITION status on any com-
mand. The sense key will be set to RECOVERED ERROR and the additional sense code will
indicate the cause of the informational exception condition. The command that has the
CHECK CONDITION will complete before and informational exception condition is reported.
4h
Unconditionally Generate Recovered Error. This method of reporting instructs the disk drive
to report informational exception conditions regardless of the value of the PER bit of the
Error Recovery Parameters Mode Page, by returning a CHECK CONDITION status on any
command. The sense key will be set to RECOVERED ERROR and the additional sense code
will indicate the cause of the informational exception condition. The command that has the
CHECK CONDITION will complete without error before any informational exception condi-
tion will be reported.
5h
Generate No Sense. This method of reporting instructs the disk drive to report informational
exception conditions by returning a CHECK CONDITION status on any command. The sense
key will be set to NO SENSE and the additional sense code will indicate the cause of the
informational exception condition. The command that has the CHECK CONDITION will com-
plete without error before any informational exception condition is reported.
6h
Only Report Informational Exception Condition On Request. This method of reporting in-
structs the disk drive to preserve the informational exception(s) data. To learn about these
exception conditions, the application client polls the disk drive via an unsolicited REQUEST
SENSE command. The sense key is set to NO SENSE and the additional sense code will
indicate the cause of the informational exception condition.
7h – Bh Reserved.
Ch – Fh Vendor-specific.
