B EMU generated condition reports
This section provides a description of the EMU generated condition reports that contain the following
information:
• Element type (et), a hexadecimal number in the range 01 through FF.
• Element number (en), a decimal number in the range 00 through 99 that defines a probable
cause of the problem.
• Error code (ec), a decimal number in the range 00 through 99.
• The recommended corrective action.
NOTE:
The conventions used to differentiate between the elements of the condition report are:
• The element type has a period after each character.
• The element number has a period after the second character.
• The error code has no periods.
The EMU can send error messages to the controller for transmission to the Command View EVA graphical
user interface (GUI). The messages displayed are specific to Command View EVA and are not within
the scope of this publication.
This appendix explains the condition report format, correcting problems, and how to identify element
types. The error codes are arranged in element type sequence (that is, 0.1., 0.2., 0.3., etc).
Condition report format
When the EMU alphanumeric display is Er, there are additional displays that identify the element type,
the specific element, and the error code, which defines the possible cause of the problem.
• The first-level display defines the type of element affected with two alphanumeric characters
separated by periods such as 0.1., 0.2., 1.3., F.F., and so forth. A disk drive problem would
display an element type number of 0.1.
• The second-level display defines the element affected with a two-digit, decimal number followed
by a period. For example, when a bay 6 drive error occurs, the element number display is 06.; a
display of 14. indicates a bay 14 problem.
• The third-level display defines a specific problem, the error code with a two-digit, decimal number.
For example, should the problem be either the installation of an incorrectly configured drive or
one that cannot operate at the loop link rate, the display is 01.
Correcting errors
Correcting an error may require you to perform a specific set of actions. In some cases, the only available
corrective action is to replace the element.
??? lists the element type codes assigned to the drive enclosure elements. Elements that do not have
an active condition report are shaded.
