- Many disks have a jumper which set whether they spin-up on power-on
- or only when they receive a SCSI start. Would an request to spin up
- when the disk was already spun up give that result code?

- Some disks always spin up on power up, and probably wouldn't like SCSI
- start at all... will such disks work with AIX?
-
- How does one learn to translate those sense codes, BTW?
