Operational Specifications for Fixed Block Rotating Mass Storage Subsystems. Category: Hardware Standard. Subcategory: Interface

摘要

This specification is intended for use in the acquisition of Fixed Block Rotating Mass Storage (FBRMS) Subsystems (e.g., magnetic disk devices with fixed sized blocks and their controllers), and is a companion to the I/O Channel Interface Standard, FIPS 60. This standard defines the command repertory for FBRMS subsystems, sense information supplied by FBRMS subsystems for error recovery purposes and error recovery procedures for both FBRMS subsystems and attached computers. This standard does not specify recording technology or the internal implementation of subsystems; consequently, storage geometries, recording formats, physical addressing, and hardware diagnostic sense information are not specified.
