NAME
ascdcode
- print error message for ASC/ASCQ error codes
SYNOPSIS
ascdcode
[
-o
vendor id
[
-p
product id
]
]
ASC
ASCQ
DESCRIPTION
The
ascdcode
program interprets Additional Sense Code (ASC) and Additional Sense
Code Qualifier (ASCQ) data and returns an appropriate error message.
The
ascdcode
program returns interpreted ASC/ASCQ data either for the named
vendor and product IDs (with the
-o
and
-p
options), or for all libraries or devices as defined in the
SCSI-3 Specifications (http://www.ncits.org) or individual vendors.
For unimplemented ASC/ASCQ codes, the
ascdcode
program will return the message
Not implemented.
OPTIONS
- -o vendor id
-
Checks to see if the vendor is an OEM and looks up the ASC/ASCQ
error codes defined original vendor for the library or device.
If the
-p
option is not specified, ascdcode will return vendor specific
information for the
vendor id
specified with this option.
The
vendor id
should be identical to the vendor string reported when you run the
inquire
program. For a complete list of vendor ID assignments, see
the web page: http://www.t10.org/lists/vid-alph.htm. This option is
only applicable to vendor specific ASC/ASCQ codes of value(s) greater
than 0x7f.
- -p product id
-
Use with
-o
to provide a library or device type with the OEM vendor.
The
product id
should be identical to the library or device string reported
when you run the
inquire
program.
-
The
ASC
argument should be the first of the pair of ASC/ASCQ error codes
reported by the library or device. You may specify the value
as a hexadecimal number by preceding the value with
0x.
The default value is assumed to be a decimal value.
-
The
ASCQ
argument should be the latter of the pair of ASC/ASCQ error codes
reported by the library or device. You may specify the value
as a hexadecimal number by preceding the value with
0x.
The default value is assumed to be a decimal value.
FILES
- /INSTALL_PATH/lgtovendors
-
The directory where the vendor specific files are installed.

ascdcode
program always uses the installed vendor specific files to

of ASC/ASCQ error codes and their corresponding error text in
these files are of the form:
-
0x[ASC], 0x[ASCQ], [error message]
