- This is usually an indication that the device did not like one of the
- commands that sent out to it. I believe that the osdisk driver would send
- an inquiry, test unit ready, mode sense, then mode select. The mode select
- could be the problem. You can check out what the standard mode select that
- it sends out by looking in the odm database. There is an attribute called
- "mode_data". Do the following command "odmget -qattribute=mode_data | pg"
- and pick out the mode data for uniquetype = disk/scsi/osdisk. Compare it
- to the mode data that this drive will accept.
