Good Status
Good status indicates that the operation specified by the CDB
completed normally. For those commands that support the
immediate return of status, Good status indicates that the CTS has
accepted the command and will attempt to perform the operation
specified by the CDB. If the specified operation does not complete
normally, Check Condition status will be reported to the initiator
when the next command is received by the CTS from the same
initiator.
Check Condition
The CTS returns Check Condition status to indicate that a situation
occurred during the execution of a command that should be checked
by the initiator. The reporting of Check Condition status is
immediate or deferred as follows:
If status for the command is to be returned when the command is
completed, Check Condition status is reported when the
condition occurs (immediate error reporting).
If status for the command was returned when the command was
initiated (that is, before the condition occurred), Check Condition
status is reported when the next command is received from the
same initiator (deferred error reporting).
If the condition occurs while the command is executing and the
CTS is disconnected from the initiator, Check Condition status is
reported to the initiator after the reconnect process.
For specific definitions that return Check Condition status, refer to the
command descriptions in Chapters 4 through 27.
Check Condition status is reported when a command is received in
the following cases:
When there is a bus parity error or format check error in a CDB.
When the command is the first command sent to the CTS after it
was reset by a SCSI bus reset or a Bus Device Reset message or
after the data cartridge was replaced. The sense key in the sense
data indicates Unit Attention (6h).
