NAME
       scsi_status - SCSI status structure

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/scsi/scsi.h>

INTERFACE LEVEL
       Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI)

DESCRIPTION
       The  SCSI-2standard defines a status byte that is normally sent by the target to the initiator during the status phase at the completion of
       each command.

STRUCTURE MEMBERS
       uchar  sts_scsi2    :1;	     /* SCSI-2 modifier bit */
       uchar  sts_is	   :1;	     /* intermediate status sent */
       uchar  sts_busy	   :1;	     /* device busy or reserved */
       uchar  sts_cm	   :1;	     /* condition met */
       ucha   sts_chk	   :1;	     /* check condition */

       sts_chk indicates that a contingent allegiance condition has occurred.

       sts_cm is returned whenever the requested operation is satisfied

       sts_busy indicates that the target is busy. This status is returned whenever a target is unable to  accept  a  command  from  an  otherwise
       acceptable initiator (that is, no reservation conflicts). The recommended initiator recovery action is to issue the command again later.

       sts_is is returned for every successfully completed command in a series of linked commands (except the last command), unless the command is
       terminated with a check condition status, reservation conflict, or command terminated status. Note that host bus adapter  drivers  may  not
       support linked commands (see scsi_ifsetcap(9F)).  If sts_is and sts_busy are both set, then a reservation conflict has occurred.

       sts_scsi2  is  the SCSI-2 modifier bit. If sts_scsi2 and sts_chk are both set, this indicates a command terminated status. If sts_scsi2 and
       sts_busy are both set, this indicates that the command queue in the target is full.

       For accessing the status as a byte, the following values are appropriate:

       STATUS_GOOD		       This status indicates that the target has successfully completed the command.

       STATUS_CHECK		       This status indicates that a contingent allegiance condition has occurred.

       STATUS_MET		       This status is returned when the requested operations are satisfied.

       STATUS_BUSY		       This status indicates that the target is busy.

       STATUS_INTERMEDIATE	       This status is returned for every successfully completed command in a series of linked commands.

       STATUS_SCSI2		       This is the SCSI-2 modifier bit.

       STATUS_INTERMEDIATE_MET	       This status is a combination of STATUS_MET and STATUS_INTERMEDIATE.

       STATUS_RESERVATION_CONFLICT     This status is a combination of STATUS_INTERMEDIATE and STATUS_BUSY, and it is returned whenever an initia-
				       tor attempts to access a logical unit or an extent within a logical unit is reserved.

       STATUS_TERMINATED	       This  status is a combination of STATUS_SCSI2 and STATUS_CHECK, and it is returned whenever the target ter-
				       minates the current I/O process after receiving a terminate I/O process message.

       STATUS_QFULL		       This status is a combination of STATUS_SCSI2 and STATUS_BUSY, and it is returned when the command queue	in
				       the target is full.
