Sense Key / Code / Qualifier / Reason 6 / 29 / 02 SCSI BUS RESET OCCURRED - Perfectly normal occurance. The bus gets reset if a device returns an unexpected answer or there are arbitration problems, nothing to worry about. It happens. 6 / 29 / CD This one is vendor specific, but 6 / 29 means device reset as well. This probably indicates that the card tried talking to the device before it finished it's reset. Again nothing to worry about. 2 / 04 / 01 Logical unit in process of becoming ready - This can happen during power on or after a reset. Again expected, nothing wrong with the disk.
I don't see anything that would bother me here. If you start seeing Sense key's of 1, 3, or 4 then you may have problems, but the RAID card should flag the disk as bad long before that happens. Sense codes happen in the SCSI realm all the time and 90% of the time are nothing to worry about. -----Original Message----- From: linux-poweredge-boun...@lists.us.dell.com [mailto:linux-poweredge-boun...@lists.us.dell.com] On Behalf Of Dave Ewart Sent: Wednesday, July 29, 2009 5:46 AM To: linux-poweredge-Lists; linux-poweredge-Lists Subject: Re: SCSI messages - should I be worried?

I'm tempted to change the disk. Anyone got any thoughts/comments, here? On a related note, I'm wondering whether Dell will honour a disk return in circumstances where the OMSA logging does not actually consider the disk bad...
