Unit Attention condition
The drive sets up the Unit Attention condition when it stores (within itself) a Unit Attention condition flag for
each device on the SCSI bus having a SCSI initiator port relationship with the drive, and this Unit Attention
condition persists for each initiator until the condition is cleared (flag negated) by each initiator individually. The
Unit Attention condition results when one of the following events occur:

condition persists for each initiator until the condition is cleared (flag negated) by each initiator individually. The
Unit Attention condition results when one of the following events occur:
a. A power-on sequence occurs.
b. A reset is generated internally by the drive (caused by a power glitch).
c. A Bus Device Reset message causes the drive to reset itself.
d. The Reset I/O line resets the drive.
e. a SCSI initiator port changes one or more of the mode select parameters in the drive (these changes

d. The Reset I/O line resets the drive.
e. a SCSI initiator port changes one or more of the mode select parameters in the drive (these changes
could affect one or more of the other initiators).
f. The inquiry data has been changed.
g. The mode parameters in effect for a SCSI initiator port have been restored from non-volatile memory.
h. An event occurs that requires the attention of the initiator.
i. A Clear Queue message is received.

The Unit Attention Parameters page (page 00h, bit 4 of byte 2) of the MODE SELECT command controls
whether or not a CHECK CONDITION status is to be reported to affected initiators when a Unit Attention con-
dition exists (see Seagate SCSI Command Reference Manual, Part number 100293068).

Logical units may queue unit attention conditions. After the first unit attention condition is cleared, another unit
attention condition may exist (for example, a power on condition followed by a microcode change condition).

The Unit Attention condition for a particular initiator is cleared when that initiator does one of the following:
a. It sends a REQUEST SENSE command; or
b. It sends any other legitimate command, with the exception of the INQUIRY command. The INQUIRY
b. It sends any other legitimate command, with the exception of the INQUIRY command. The INQUIRY
command does not clear the Unit Attention condition.
When a Unit Attention condition flag is stored in the drive for a SCSI initiator port, the commands that initiator
issues to the drive operate as described in the following paragraphs.

(negate the flag) for that initiator.
If a SCSI initiator port issues a command other than INQUIRY or REQUEST SENSE while a Unit Attention
condition flag is stored for that initiator, the drive may or may not perform the command and report CHECK
CONDITION status, depending on whether or not the Unit Attention bit is zero or one in the Unit Attention
Mode Parameters page (Page 00h, bit 4 of byte 2). See Seagate SCSI Command Reference Manual, Part
number 100293068. If a REQUEST SENSE is issued next, the Unit Attention condition is reported and cleared
(flag negated) as noted in the preceding paragraph. If another command other than REQUEST SENSE or
INQUIRY is issued instead, the drive shall perform the command and return the appropriate status. The Unit
Attention condition for the subject initiator is cleared (flag negated) and the sense data and flag indicating there
has been a Unit Attention condition are lost.
