Some versions of the Virtual I/O Server on Power
return 0x99 in the non-SCSI error status field as success,

response as success.
Yeah0x99...that's an intuitive value for success.
Hopefully there are no versions that return 0x99 for an error? :)
There shouldn't be. 0x99 is actually not defined as a valid value for
that field, but it is what the ibmvscsis VIOS that is included in
SLES 9 and SLES 10 return on success, due to a bug in that driver.
We plan to fix the ibmvscsis driver as well, but it will take a while
for that fix to propagate. Until very recently, the status field was not
checked, which is why we are only recently running into this problem.
