- Hello,
-
- Has anyone been able to decipher a correlation between ANSI Spec SCSI
- Extended Sense Data and the Sense Data that is returned by IBM's AIX SCSI
- Disk drive Diagnostics Routine?
-
- The data returned by the AIX diagnostics looks like HEX data but
- its in a four digit format instead of typical two digit HEX data that
- correlates to the Extended Sense Data Format.
-
- Below is the data from the AIX SCSI Diagnostics utility. If anyone can
- find a key to deciphering it or how the data is grouped I'd appreciate it.
- The subject drive is a Seagate Elite 1 ST41600N which conforms to ANSI SCSI-2
- and Sense Data Format:

- If anyone has any ideas on how to read the above data into anything close to
- SCSI Request Sense Data I'd really like to hear it.
-
- Reply by Email to jeff@wsm.com preferably. If I(WE) manage to figure it out
- I'll post the results.
