When the RC bit is one, reallocations are disabled even if the ARRE or AWRE bits are one. The drive will still perform data recovery actions within the limits defined by the Read Retry Count, Write Retry Count, and Recovery Time Limit parameters. However, the drive does not report any unrecovered errors.

When the RC bit is one, reallocations are disabled even if the ARRE or AWRE bits are one. The drive will still

perform data recovery actions within the limits defined by the Read Retry Count, Write Retry Count, and

Recovery Time Limit parameters. However, the drive does not report any unrecovered errors.

[1]

Setting these retry counts to a value below the default setting could result in degradation of the unrecov-

ered error rate. For example, suppose the read/write recovery page has the RC bit = 0, the read retry

count set to 4, and the recovery time limit set to 450. A 4-block read command can take up to 244 msec

recovery time for each block and a maximum of 450 msec recovery for all four blocks. If either of these

limits is reached and a block has not yet been recovered, the command will end with Check Condition sta-

tus and an unrecoverable read error will be reported.

7.3

SAS system errors

Information on the reporting of operational errors or faults across the interface is given in the

SAS Interface

Manual

. The SSP Response returns information to the host about numerous kinds of errors or faults. The

Receive Diagnostic Results reports the results of diagnostic operations performed by the drive.

Status returned by the drive to the initiator is described in the

SAS Interface Manual.

Status reporting plays a

role in systems error management and its use in that respect is described in sections where the various com-

mands are discussed.
