Decoding Intel® RAID Sense Code Messages Intel® RAID Controllers: SAS Software Stack

1. Decoding Intel® RAID Sense Code Messages

1.1 Purpose
This document reviews unexpected sense codes returned by SAS/SATA RAID devices attached
to an Intel® RAID Controller using the SAS software stack. This document does not describe all
error types or messages generated by these RAID Controllers.

1.2 RAID Logs

The RAID controller error events are logged as they occur. The type of RAID controller
determines where and when the events are logged, and the RAID application determines what
portion of the log entries can be viewed.

ƒ Intel® SAS/SATA Hardware based RAID Controllers (solutions utilizing an I/O processor)
persistently log error events in an NVRAM log. Events are logged from the point of
power on, including out-of-band events (events that occur when the operating system is
not yet loaded or is not operational). Text for these logged errors can be viewed in RAID
BIOS Console or RAID Web Console2; or the text can be extracted using the command
line utility.
ƒ Intel® SAS/SATA Software based RAID Controllers (solutions that do not utilize an I/O
processor) log error events only in the RAID Web Console2 log, and do not have
NVRAM available to persistently save error messages. Events are only logged when the
RAID Web Console2 application is running within the operating system. These error
events can be viewed only in RAID Web Console2.

1.3 RAID Log Events

Logged events include status change events, informational messages and error messages.
Unexpected Sense Codes are error messages that are generated when a device attached to a
RAID controller encounters an error and responds with a device based error message. These
messages are based on the industry standard T10 technical committee SCSI ASC/ASCQ
assignments (refer to http://www.t10.org/lists/asc-num.txt for more information). A copy of this
reference list is in Appendix A.

The sequence of events that can lead to an unexpected sense code error message is listed
below.

1. The host adapter issues a command and receives a status update.

2. The RAID controller will issue a REQUEST SENSE command to the device if the status
is other than GOOD (00h). Usually the error status inquiry is CHECK CONDITION (02h).
3. The REQUEST SENSE response from the device is the unexpected sense code and
consists of the Command Data Block (CDB) issued by the host device and the Sense
data from the target device.
4. The CDB contains the command sent to the device. The sense data contains the error
message sent from the device and includes up to 255 bytes of information. The first 17
bytes are mandatory and all other bytes are optional additional sense bytes. The first 17
bytes contain the Error Code, Sense Key, the Additional Sense Code and the Additional

6 Revision 1.0
Intel® RAID Controllers: SAS Software Stack Appendix A

Sense Code Qualifier. These bytes can be decoded into an error message for more
information.
5. The logged entry also includes the following:
- Date and time of the event
- Channel and target
- SAS/SATA CDB
- Returned Sense Code
6. Returned Sense Data includes:
- Sense Key = byte 2
- Additional Sense code = byte 12
- Additional Sense Code Qualifier = byte 13

1.4 Unexpected Sense Code Event Format

The error message format may vary depending on the utility used to view or extract the
message. The general format is shown below.

Date – Controller ID - Error type - Device Number - CDB in Hex - Sense in Hex.

Below is an example of a sense code based error message from an Intel® SAS RAID controller.

[Warning, 1] 2007-09-07, 09:57:17 Controller ID:0 Unexpected sense:PD=2:10,

CDB = 0x2a 0x00 0x00 0x02 0xf2 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x80 0x00, Sense = 0xf0
0x00 0x0b 0x00 0x02 0xf2 0x2d 0x0a 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x4b 0x05
0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00

CDB and Sense Code data is in hex. Each byte is represented by data in a “0x00” format,
separated by a space and numbered on the left starting at 0. The CDB bytes above would be
numbered as follows.

Byte Byte Byte Byte Byte Byte Byte Byte Byte Byte
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
0x2a 0x00 0x00 0x02 0xf2 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x80 0x00

Tables in this document will not include the 0x portion of the byte.

1.5 SCSI CDB Command Decode

The SCSI CDB commands are defined as the data structure viewed through the SCSI interface.
A single command will transfer one or more logical blocks of data. The CDB consists of the
operation code, the logical unit number, the command parameters and the control byte. The
length varies depending on the value of the group code in the operation code. Intel® RAID
controllers addressed in this document support 4 kinds of the CDB length – 6-byte commands,
10-byte commands, 12-byte commands and 16-byte commands.

The table below describes the general content of the 6-byte CDB. The current SAS
implementation of the CDB can be of variable length with some reserved portions indicating a
target block on the target device. The table below is limited to 6 bytes and is used to highlight
the Operational Code byte.

1.6 Decoding Key SCSI CDB Commands

Some CDB Commands have an extended command set that can be used to qualify a command
or provide additional command structure. For these commands the contents of Table 1 are
extended to include the additional parameters shown in Table 3. These include the key CDB
extended commands usage matrix, unexpected sense information, and additional debug
information (i.e., the media location of a failed disk access).

8 Transfer Length (LSB)
9 Control

The READ command sends a request to the target device to transfer the number of blocks in
the Transfer Length field to the RAID controller starting with the address in the Logical Block
Address field. This command causes the target device to transfer the latest data written on the
specified blocks.

The WRITE command writes the consecutive data blocks transferred from the RAID controller,
as specified in the Transfer Length field, to the medium starting with the block address in the
Logical Block Address field.

9 Control

The WRITE AND VERIFY command writes the number of consecutive data blocks from the
RAID Controller specified in the Transfer Length field to the medium, starting with the block
address in the Logical Block Address field and verifies that the data is written correctly.

When the Byte Check (BytChk) bit is set to 0, the target device verifies the written data in the
medium using ECC. When the BytChk bit is set to 1, the target device performs a byte-by-byte

Revision 1.0 11

compare check between the data in the medium and the data transferred from the RAID
Controller.

7 Transfer Length (MSB)
8 Transfer Length (LSB)
9 Control

The VERIFY command verifies the data in the consecutive data blocks specified in the Transfer
Length field, starting at the block address in the Logical Block Address field.

When the Byte Check (BytChk) bit is set to 0, the target device does not request the verification
data but verifies the written data in the medium using ECC. When the BytChk bit is set to 1 the
target device performs a byte-by-byte compare check between the written data in the medium
and the data transferred from the RAID controller.

The bytes required to decode an error message are Error Code, Sense Key, Additional Sense
Code, and Additional Sense Code Qualifier.

1.8 The Error Code

The Error Code (Byte 0) for an unexpected sense code is usually 70. Sometimes this byte
contains F0 instead because the 7th bit of the Byte 0 is valid, e.g., 0xF0 = 0x70 | 0x80, 0x70
indicates the current error on the target device and 0x80 indicates that the field contains valid
information.

1.9 The Sense Key, Additional Sense Code, and Additional Sense Code
Qualifier
The Sense Key (SK) (byte 2) is a basic error code and provides error category information. It is
necessary to check the Additional Sense Code (ASC) (byte 12) and the Additional Sense Code
Qualifier (ASCQ) (Byte 13) for additional information.

The information contained in the CDB, the SK, the ASC and the ASCQ provides information
about the error and failure mode.

In the earlier error message example the CDB (CDB = 0x2a 0x00 0x00 0x02 0xf2
0x00 0x00 0x00 0x80 0x00) was decoded as a WRITE command. The sense code
portion of this error message is shown below.
Byte Byte Byte Byte Byte Byte Byte Byte Byte Byte Byte Byte Byte Byte Byte Byte Byte Byte

Note the color code for Error Code, Sense Key , Additional Sense Code, and Additional Sense
Code Qualifier bytes.

The Error Code at Byte0 indicates that an error occurred and the sense message contains
usable information.

Sense Key at Byte2 is 0B and indicates that a command was aborted by the device.

ASC at Byte 12 is 4B and the ASCQ at Byte 13 is 05, which indicates that there was a Data
Phase Error - DATA OFFSET ERROR.

1.10 Multiple Sense Codes

An error event in the log may be followed by a second error event that can provide additional
information. For example a CDB is issued to VERIFY a data block is shown below.

CDB: 2f 00 13 8e 93 05 00 80 00 00
The CDB indicates that the drive will verify the 0x8000 block written data on the medium using
ECC starting from LBA 0x138E9305.

It is followed by the sense data, which indicates that the drive returned an unrecoverable read
error on the LBA 0x138EF588.

Sense Code: f0 00 03 13 8e f5 88 0a 00 00 00 00 11 00 00 00 00 0

Next the Controller tries to fix the error using the WRITE and VERIFY command, which
indicates that the drive will write 0x01 block data and then verify the written data in the medium
using ECC starting from LAB 0x138EF588.

CDB: 2e 00 13 8e f5 88 00 00 01 00

It is followed by the sense data, which indicates that the drive failed the read command again.

Sense Code: f0 00 03 13 8e f5 88 0a 00 00 00 00 11 00 00 00 00 0
