From George.Penokie at lsi.com Wed Apr 1 06:06:19 2009 From: George.Penokie at lsi.com (Penokie, George) Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2009 07:06:19 -0600 Subject: 09-063r1 comment Message-ID: Formatted message: HTML-formatted message Craig, That is an error in SAS-2 that will be fixed in revision 16 per the below note that went out two weeks ago from Bill Martin. Rob & T10: At the SAS protocol meeting today, it was discovered that in the SP11 state there is an error in 6.8.4.5.3. In 6.7.2.3.2 where the protocol for speed negotiation windows is defined there are the following two statements: In Figure 154 it states - If the phy's receiver achieves dword synchronization at the SNW rate within SNLT, its transmitter transmits ALIGN (1)s at the SNW rate for the remainder of the SNTT. After table 99 it states - If the phy supports the SNW, then after RCDT it shall attempt to attain dword synchronization on an incoming series of dwords (e.g., ALIGN (0) or ALIGN (1) primitives) at that rate for the SNLT: a) if the phy achieves dword synchronization within the SNLT, then it shall change from transmitting ALIGN (0) primitives to transmitting ALIGN (1) primitives for the remainder of the SNTT (i.e., the remainder of the SNW time). The point at which the phy achieves dword synchronization is called the actual lock time (ALT); or b) if the phy does not achieve dword synchronization within the SNLT, then it shall continue transmitting ALIGN (0) primitives for the remainder of the SNTT (i.e., the remainder of the SNW time). At the end of the SNTT: a) if the phy is both transmitting and receiving ALIGN (1) primitives, then it shall consider the SNW to be valid; or b) if the phy is not both transmitting and receiving ALIGN (1) primitives, then it shall consider the SNW to be invalid. The phy shall disable SSC (see 5.7.6) during SNW-1, SNW-2, and Final-SNW. The first list is describing state SP10 and item a) is the transition from SP10 to SP11. The second list is describing SP11 and item a) is the transition from SP11 to SP12. The issue is that the transition from SP11 to SP12 is taken "if phy is both transmitting and receiving ALIGN (1) primitives" by the end of SNTT; however 6.8.4.5.3 states: 6.8.4.5.3 Transition SP11:SAS_AwaitALIGN1 to SP12:SAS_AwaitSNW This transition shall occur if this state receives an ALIGN Received (1) message before the SNLT timer expires. This indicates that the attached phy has been able to achieve dword synchronization in the current SNW. This transition is based on receiving the ALIGN Received (1) message before the SNLT timer expires not the SNTT timer. It was agreed by those present at the SAS protocol working group meeting today that this should be changed to SNTT in the version of SAS-2 that is published for public review.

Questions: 1) Is this in fact correct that the timer is changed 2) If so, there is still a reference to SNLT in 5.6.5.3.3 (a), I assume this should also be SNTT. If SNLT in this section is correct, then SNLT is missing initialization (starting) and any consequent actions on SNLT expiring in the PS states. Secondly, regarding section 5.6.5.4.3 "footnote" of: "Receipt of the ALIGN Received (1) message indicates that the connected phy has been able to achieve dword synchronization with the previously negotiated settings." Questions: 1) Does this only apply to the 5.6.5.4.3 transition and not to the 5.6.5.3.3 transition to ALIGN1 state? Ie ALIGN0 state can transition to ALIGN regardless of DWS sync? If so, I would like to suggest that maybe just 5.6.5.4.3 "a" should just read: "a) If the DWS is synced, and this state receives an ALIGN Received (1) message before the SNTT timer expires..." because other places in the phy spec the ALIGN Received message does not imply the DWS is synced. I think it would be clearer and more consistent.

Item 1 in section 5.6.5.3.1 should have been stated as 1) initialize and start the SNTT timer and the SNLT timer; The sentence in section 5.6.5.4.3 " Receipt of the ALIGN Received (1) message indicates that the connected phy has been able to achieve dword synchronization with the previously negotiated settings." does not belong in a transition section and will be deleted from that section. It will either move to another section or be removed pending a discussion at the next working group.

It was not proposal from Pioneer. It was a report and a suggestion from me. You said that it is not a small job to check the description of RW DL media in MMC6. Then I reported that there was no disc product and no device product for RW DL media. This means that no one might not read the description of RW DL carefully. Because MMC6 will be submitted to ISO you might be prudent in dealing with MMC6. So I suggested that you may remove them. Best regards, Keiji Katata PIONEER CORP.

We have never seen DVD+RW DL drives or media. -- Jim Taylor SVP & Chief Technologist, Sonic Solutions * From the T10 Reflector (t10 at t10.org), posted by: * richard.bohn at seagate.com * Hello all, I have a question regarding the SAS interface power management specification and the invalid dword / running disparity error counts from the PHY ERROR LOG. Currently the invalid dword and running disparity error counters are defined as follows: The INVALID DWORD COUNT field indicates the number of invalid dwords (see 3.1.121) that have been received outside of phy reset sequences (i.e., between when the SP state machine (see 6.8) sends a Phy Layer Ready (SAS) confirmation or Phy Layer Ready (SATA) confirmation and when it sends a Phy Layer Not Ready confirmation to the link layer). Does this wording need to be updated to account for state machine behavior when the PHY enters its low power states? The new SP state machine as proposed in 09-063r1 never sends a "Phy Layer Not Ready" confirmation to the link layer when the PHY is powered down (although it does send a "Phy Layer Ready" confirmation to the link layer when transitioning back to SP15 PHY_Ready). I imagine this was intentional so as to not reset the IR state machine during power management modes. I think once SP15 PHY_Ready is left, the invalid dword and running disparity error counters should cease counting until SP15 PHY_Ready is reached again. Thus, I think the current wording that defines those counters as counting until a "Phy Layer Not Ready" message is received needs to be updated to account for the window between entering SP31 SAS_PS_Low_Phy_Power and re-entering SP15 PHY_Ready.

At least I hope it is. The Host must be able to trust something as axiomatic - inviolable and unchanging. INQUIRY data - at least some of it - should be that way. Byte 0: Bits 4 through 0 specifies the device type (5 for MM devices) must be in the minimum set. It has been defined in this way since SCSI-2 (1993). One could argue that it goes back to SCSI-1, but SCSI-1 did not define a device type 5. Byte 2: This has been "version" since SPC-2 (2001). Its original definition as 3 separate version fields was established in SCSI-1 (1985). SPC-2 tells us that when version = 0, the drive is claiming no compliance with any (SPC) standard. Theoretically, you don't need to trust anything else. As a practical matter, the Host needs more "trustable" information, so I'll stop the theoretical viewpoint. The main Fuji, MMC-5 and SPC-3 disagreement is byte 3. I blew it in MMC-5 with response data format (bits 3-0). I had requested a unique version for MMC and I didn't get it, but I failed to fix MMC-5. This is corrected in MMC-6. In the case of Fuji, the Host is supposed to "know" that the device is either SCSI or ATAPI in order to determine the actual meaning of byte 3 (bits7-4). That may be possible, but typically, USB connected devices report as if they were ATAPI. As the editor of MMC-6, I cannot change the field definitions of the INQUIRY data specified in SPC-3. T10 will not permit it. I would hope for a change to Fuji, but I that will also be difficult. There are additional problems associated with version = 0. Luckily, these are resolved by specifying MM device behavior. You probably don't care anyway. For example: the REPORT LUNS command is now mandatory according to SPC-3. We are permitted to not implement such a useless command when version = 0. I simply need to specify it. Yes, this does not help much.

Meeting minutes of NEA bit > Here is a meeting minutes that NEA bit was revised from 'No Event' bit. According to this minutes, The Notification Vlass field of 000b was changed from "None of the requested event classes are supported" to "Reserved". This decision was reflected to Fuji3v60.pdf. But later, Fuji3v092.pdf, the definition of this value was returned to the original one without any voting, maybe. Form the theoretical point of view, this value should be Reserved because the Notification Class 0 is Reserved and may be used for any purpose in future. At that time, the value 000b must be used to report the Class 0 event. NEA was defined to report "None of the requested event classes are supported" as the same meaning of the original definition of 000b of Notification Vlass field. I think we should discuss that the definition of the Notification Class 000b should be returned to Reserved or not.

That statement seems to assume there is an ACA Active (a faulted I_T nexus exists somewhere) - "other than THE faulted I_T nexus..." If there is no faulted I_T nexus anywhere (ACA is not active), then will a CLEAR ACA TMF still respond with FUNCTION REJECTED? or does it act like ABORT TASK when the task is not in the task set and respond with FUNCTION COMPLETE (since ACA is in fact cleared)? host puts 2 commands "on the wire" the first one gets CHECK CONDITION the second one gets ACA ACTIVE the target has a hard reset occur host sends CLEAR ACA - what is the response?

At least I hope it is. The Host must be able to trust something as axiomatic - inviolable and unchanging. INQUIRY data - at least some of it - should be that way. Byte 0: Bits 4 through 0 specifies the device type (5 for MM devices) must be in the minimum set. It has been defined in this way since SCSI-2 (1993). One could argue that it goes back to SCSI-1, but SCSI-1 did not define a device type 5. Byte 2: This has been "version" since SPC-2 (2001). Its original definition as 3 separate version fields was established in SCSI-1 (1985). SPC-2 tells us that when version = 0, the drive is claiming no compliance with any (SPC) standard. Theoretically, you don't need to trust anything else. As a practical matter, the Host needs more "trustable" information, so I'll stop the theoretical viewpoint. The main Fuji, MMC-5 and SPC-3 disagreement is byte 3. I blew it in MMC-5 with response data format (bits 3-0). I had requested a unique version for MMC and I didn't get it, but I failed to fix MMC-5. This is corrected in MMC-6. In the case of Fuji, the Host is supposed to "know" that the device is either SCSI or ATAPI in order to determine the actual meaning of byte 3 (bits7-4). That may be possible, but typically, USB connected devices report as if they were ATAPI. As the editor of MMC-6, I cannot change the field definitions of the INQUIRY data specified in SPC-3. T10 will not permit it. I would hope for a change to Fuji, but I that will also be difficult. There are additional problems associated with version = 0. Luckily, these are resolved by specifying MM device behavior. You probably don't care anyway. For example: the REPORT LUNS command is now mandatory according to SPC-3. We are permitted to not implement such a useless command when version = 0. I simply need to specify it. Yes, this does not help much.

If NEA is set to zero, at least one of the requested notification classes is supported. This bit of zero indicates that the drive supports none of the Classes requested. It is independent from the existence of an occurred Event of one of the requested Classes. So, we agree with your following opinion. > This sounds more like "No Requested Class Supported". [Response Data length] Regarding the reported parameter length, our understanding is same as yours. If the NEA is set to zero, one Event Descriptor must be transferred even if no Event has occurred. In this case, the Event Descriptor Length field is set to 0x0006. If the NEA is set to one, no Event Descriptor is transferred. In this case, the Event Descriptor Length field is set to 0x0002.

As I explained, the existence of an event for a Class does not affect to the NEA bit setting. NEA just indicate whether or not the drive supports the requested event. For example, if a drive supports Oprational Change, Power, Media and Device Busy event Classes, and the host requests External Request only, then the drive returns only the 4-byte Event header with NEA=1, even if the drive has an Event for a supported Class. Another example is if the host requests Operational Change Class and the drive does not have any Event for that Class, the drive must report Event Header with NEA=0, Notification Class=001b and Operational Change Class Event Descriptor with Operational Event=0h. So, the sentence should be "Regardless of the existence of an Event, if none of the requested noticiation Class is supported, ..."

If there is no faulted I_T nexus anywhere (ACA is not active), then will a CLEAR ACA TMF still respond with FUNCTION REJECTED? or does it act like ABORT TASK when the task is not in the task set and respond with FUNCTION COMPLETE (since ACA is in fact cleared)? host puts 2 commands "on the wire" the first one gets CHECK CONDITION the second one gets ACA ACTIVE the target has a hard reset occur host sends CLEAR ACA - what is the response?

It appears that the specification in table 37 (SPL r1) is not correct, any comments. 4.11 Phy events Phys shall count the following events using saturating counters and report them in the Protocol-Specific Port log page (see 9.2.8.1) and/or the SMP REPORT PHY ERROR LOG function (see 9.4.3.11): a) invalid dwords received; b) dwords received with running disparity errors; c) loss of dword synchronization; and d) phy reset problems. Table 37 - PHY EVENT SOURCE field (part 1 of 4) 02h Running disparity error count WC Number of dwords containing running disparity errors (see 5.3.5) that have been received outside of phy reset sequences 9.4.3.11 REPORT PHY ERROR LOG function The RUNNING DISPARITY ERROR COUNT field indicates the number of dwords containing running disparity errors (see 5.3.5) that have been received outside of phy reset sequences. The count shall stop at the maximum value. The RUNNING DISPARITY ERROR COUNT field is set to a vendor-specific value after power on. Bye for now, George Penokie LSI Corporation 3033 41st St. NW Suite 100 Rochester, MN 55901 507-328-9017 george.penokie at lsi.com From Elliott at hp.com Tue Apr 14 18:31:49 2009 From: Elliott at hp.com (Elliott, Robert (Server Storage)) Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2009 01:31:49 +0000 Subject: SPL disparity errors counter conflict Message-ID: Formatted message: HTML-formatted message Both. When reported via the old REPORT PHY ERROR LOG function, they are always saturating values. They can be cleared with the PHY CONTROL function CLEAR ERROR LOG phy operation, but that's not multi-initiator friendly. When reported via the REPORT PHY EVENT LIST function (if those events have been selected as sources - there are many other sources also available), they are wrapping values. These are multi-initiator friendly. ________________________________ From: owner-t10 at t10.org [mailto:owner-t10 at t10.org] On Behalf Of Penokie, George Sent: Tuesday, April 14, 2009 6:45 PM To: t10 at t10.org Subject: SPL disparity errors counter conflict The running disparity errors counter in SPL (and SAS-2) in two places is called out as a saturating counter and one place as a wrapping counter.

On completion of the command, all enabled timers shall be reinitialized based on their Power Condition mode page values and then started. That wording conflicts with the following wording in section 6.29 REQUEST SENSE command: Upon completion of the REQUEST SENSE command, the logical unit shall return to the same power condition that was active before the REQUEST SENSE command was received. A REQUEST SENSE command shall not reset any power condition timers. The wording that should have been put into section 5.10.1 Power condition overview should have been: If any power condition timer in the Power Condition mode page is enabled, then that timer shall be stopped on receipt of a command. On completion of the command, except the REQUEST SENSE command (see 6.29), all enabled timers shall be reinitialized based on their Power Condition mode page values and then started.

My reading would say both, which is not correct. If any power condition timer in the Power Condition mode page is enabled, then that timer shall be stopped on receipt of a command. On completion of the command: 1) if the command was not a REQUEST SENSE command (see 6.29) then, all enabled timers shall be reinitialized based on their Power Condition mode page values ; and 2) all enabled timers shall be started.

The rows for PCR=1, SP=1, and PC= 00b and 01b define the operation as: 1) save the current values; 2) reset values to defaults. This will (normally) result in the saved and current values being different at the end of the LOG SELECT command. This is at odds with the defined behavior for MODE SELECT, where values are updated/ reset first, then saved. LOG SELECT with PCR=0 and SP=1 will also update the Log parameters first, then save them. Why did this get turned around backwards for the PCR=1 case? Is this really the implementation we want? * * For T10 Reflector information, send a message with * 'info t10' (no quotes) in the message body to majordomo at t10.org From kdbutt at us.ibm.com Mon Apr 20 19:12:52 2009 From: kdbutt at us.ibm.com (Kevin D Butt) Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2009 19:12:52 -0700 Subject: 08-390r0 [SSC-3: Letter Ballot SYM-019 item a resolution] has been posted Message-ID: Formatted message: HTML-formatted message I have posted a proposal to resolve SSC-3 Letter Ballot comment SYM-019 part a. 2009/04/20 19:39:14 Your request to upload a file or files to the T10 site has been accepted.

It states this regarding the DESC bit in the CDB: "Since MM Drives support only a 32-bit LBA format, MM Drives ignore the setting of the Desc bit in the REQUEST SENSE command CDB and return only fixed format sense data. SPC-3 does not seem to be specific (unless I've missed it) on what the drive should do if it doesn't support Descriptor format sense data but receives a DESC=1 request. However, SPC-4 is very clear on this in Table 251 (DESC bit). It states: "The device server shall return no parameter data and terminate the REQUEST SENSE command with CHECK CONDITION status with the sense key set to ILLEGAL REQUEST and the additional sense code set to INVALID FIELD IN CDB." A quick test of the optical drives I have attached show that they do ignore the DESC bit thereby meeting the MMC requirement but contradicting the SPC requirement. This is a minor issue as I suspect no optical software (other than test software) issues a Request Sense with the DESC bit set. It is a conflict between MMC-6 and SPC-4 that I don't believe has been mentioned before. It seems to me that MMC-6 should adopt what SPC-4 has defined but I'll leave that to the two committees if they're interested in addressing this.

In SPC-4, CAP apparently felt that the normal Reserved bit rules no longer applied when it approved 06-264r2: http://www.t10.org/cgi-bin/ac.pl?t=d&f=06-264r2.pdf SPC-4 REQUEST SENSE parameter data clarifications [Elliott] Now that you have exposed the question, I guess CAP will have to reconsider how best to represent backwards compatibility in this regard (or even whether backwards compatibility matters).

During the call Mark Seidel (Intel) raised the question of how optical cables should be handled in this specification with particular regard to the jitter specification. In further discussion between Matt Davis (Zarlink), Tom Palkert (Luxtera), Gourgen Oganessyan (Quellan), and Katharine Schmidkte (Finisar) it was agreed that optical cables would meet the same jitter requirement as active copper cables. This is defined in Table 89 - "Active cable output electrical characteristics for trained 6 Gbps" of document 09-098r1. Gourgen is finalizing this document based on feedback from today's call and will post the revisions early next week. Please respond with comments to the reflector so that the group can discuss.

The specs says: "Media default rotation control is the rotation control is defined by media specifications." Well, that is actually not so helpful as it fails to abstract the protocol |from the media specifics, i.e. it requires the host to have specific knowledge of the device / media. Then the MMC specification tries to be helpful by adding a table of 'typical' default rotation controls. What does 'typical' mean? Does it mean recommended but not mandatory and really up to the media specification to say? Or it is a mandatory default rotation control for the 'typical' media types listed in the table? Furthermore the table is ambiguous is that it says 'DVD-R/-RW' but only 'DVD+RW'. What about DVD+R then? And do the entry cover only SL or is DL also mandated by these entries? The spec then says "If default rotation control is CAV, this field shall be set to zero." - but there is not a single entry in the table where the default rotation control is CAV. So this statement is quite weird. What is/are the media for which the default rotation control is CAV? Is there any way for the host to query what is the 'media default rotation control' using MMC or Fuji? With regards, David.

The suggested changes to SPC-4 assume that every device that uses power conditions and the power condition mode page support the START/STOP UNIT command and its controlling of power conditions. Since this is in SPC-4 this applies to all devices including SSC (i.e., Tape) and SMC (i.e., library) devices and neither of these devices support START/STOP UNIT - nor can they because the opcode is LOAD/UNLOAD - whatever is proposed needs to make the distinction between those devices.

This is very interesting and I would like to work together. There are two choice to add in ODD Button SW into PIN assign. Drive presence or M-Diag. Then considering side effect of implementation, M-Diag is good for Button SW. Drive presence has used by many PC in the field. On the other hand, There are already many drive has customize model for like this circuit in M-Diag. If M-Diag use as Button SW, the proposal will be accepted with no big concern.

BTW, there is an unordered list with only one item - oops. Also 5.10.5.5.2 and 5.10.5.5.3 BTW, there is an unordered list with only one item - oops. You might make the argument that the START STOP UNIT command is not required and therefore that it is not necessary to spell out the difference, but it does levy a requirement on all devices and I think it should be clear. In 7.4.2 the two new bits are added ITC and STC. Looking a little closer, this is the crux of the issue. It may be a nit, but tape and library devices (and any other) that do not support the START STOP UNIT command have a curious choice here. Either support the bit - and imply the START STOP UNIT command which cannot be supported - or not allow the bit to be supported - in which case they can't get the in process of becoming ready response.

If you are a device that doesn't support this command, then excepting this command from the behavior should not be any consequence to you. There are plenty of other reasons to disagree with this proposal, this reason is minor compared to those. See you next week.
