LOG SENSE Command (4Dh)

NOTE

Log Sense data pages require special interpretation and also are
subject to change. For assistance with the Log Sense data pages,
contact your Quantum Applications Engineer.

The drive collects operational information and stores these statistics as

log data. Log

data are grouped by category into

log pages. The LOG SENSE command allows an

initiator to retrieve the stored log data. The LOG SENSE command is a
complementary command to the LOG SELECT command.
Each log page contains one or more pieces of information. Each piece of information
is referred to as a

parameter. There are two types of parameters: values and lists. In

general, error and performance counters are reported as values. For example, the
count of “Hardware Idled Due To Invalid Command” is returned as a 32-bit integer.
Events are reported as lists. For example, the last known failure might be reported
with the ASCII string “Last known failure code 960A(X)”.

Applications Engineer for more information.
