.SH NAME
scsi_arq_status \- SCSI auto request sense structure
.SH SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/scsi/scsi.h>

.SH INTERFACE LEVEL

Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI)
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
When auto request sense has been enabled using  \fBscsi_ifsetcap\fR(9F) and the "auto-rqsense" capability, the target driver must allocate a status area in the \fBSCSI\fR packet structure for the auto request sense structure (see \fBscsi_pkt\fR(9S)).  In the event of a \fBcheck\fR \fIcondition\fR, the transport layer automatically executes a request sense command.  This check ensures that the request sense information does not get lost. The auto request sense structure supplies the \fBSCSI\fR status of the original command, the transport information pertaining to the request sense command, and the request sense data.

\fBsts_status\fR is the \fBSCSI\fR status of the original command. If the status indicates a \fBcheck\fR \fIcondition\fR, the transport layer might have performed an auto request sense command.
.sp
.LP
\fBsts_rqpkt_status\fR is the \fBSCSI\fR status of the request sense command. \fBsts_rqpkt_reason\fR is the completion reason of the request sense command. If the reason is not \fBCMD_CMPLT\fR, then the request sense command did not complete normally.
.sp
.LP
\fBsts_rqpkt_resid\fR is the residual count of the data transfer and indicates the number of data bytes that have not been transferred. The auto request sense command requests \fBSENSE_LENGTH\fR bytes.
.sp
.LP
\fBsts_rqpkt_state\fR has bit positions representing the five most important statuses that a  \fBSCSI \fRcommand can go obtain.
.sp
.LP
\fBsts_rqpkt_statistics\fR maintains transport-related statistics of the request sense command.
.sp
.LP
\fBsts_sensedata\fR contains the actual sense data if the request sense command completed normally.
