Hi,

Would you mind commenting on my question:
should 'iostat' be reporting "Illegal Request" errors as "Soft errors"?


There are some conditions which can generate "Illegal Request" in scsi
driver.
1) hba driver does not support some commands, such as 0x1a, page 3 -
Mode Sense Command, Format page
0x1a, page 0xa - Mode Sense Command, Control page
...;
2) hard disk does not support some commands;
3) during attaching
4) user send uscsi command

According to http://blogs.sun.com/chrisg/entry/iostat_e_whats_that_all (
I found it by searching it on Google), Illegal Request will be counted
as Soft Error.

There is a CR 6427672 <http://bt2ws.central.sun.com/CrPrint?id=6427672>,
which is complaining there are too many Soft Errors in 'iostat -E' result.

Should we stop reporting Illegal Request as Soft Errors?

Regards,
David
