8.1 About This Command
The LOG SELECT command allows you to manage the counters that
the CTS maintains about its write and read error recovery operations.
These counters, described in Table 8-2 on page 8-8, include the
following:
Total Number of Rewrites and Total Number of Rereads
Total Errors Corrected
Total Times Errors Processed
Total Bytes Processed
Total Unrecoverable Errors
You can use the LOG SELECT command to reset these counters or to
specify threshold and cumulative values for each counter. To test the
CTS, you can reset the counters, perform the read or write operations
you want to test, then issue a LOG SENSE (4Dh) command to check
the values of the counters (refer to Chapter 9 for information about
the LOG SENSE command).
You can also use the LOG SELECT command to specify if and when
you want to be notified about changes to the counters. (For example,
you might want the CTS to return Unit Attention when a counter
reaches its threshold value.)
Important
If you want the CTS to return Unit Attention to notify you
about changes to the counters, first issue a MODE SELECT
(15h) command and send the Control Mode page (Page
Code=0Ah) with the Report Log Exception Condition (RLEC)
bit set to 1. Refer to Chapter 10 for more information.
Figure 8-1 shows the general structure of the LOG SELECT command.
The LOG SELECT command enables you to change counter values on
two different pages: the Write Error Counter page and the Read Error
Counter page. With each LOG SELECT CDB, you send a parameter
list for each page on which you are changing values. Each parameter
list has a Parameter List Header that indicates the number of bytes
that follow the header as log parameters. You specify a log parameter
for each value on the page that you want to change.
