The drives test good in STM and using the "dd" command. I guess I was just wondering what the non-medium errors mean and if the drives are GOOD or BAD?? Any input would be much appreciated.

They may cause performance problems if severe enough, but in that case they should trip SMART errors (which you should see reported by the EMS HW monitor on HP-UX). <BR /><BR />SCSI I/O errors are not counted as non-medium errors.<BR /><BR />Andrew Tue, 26 Jul 2005 06:33:24 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk/non-medium-disk-errors-in-stm/m-p/4914073#M7897 Andrew Merritt_2 2005-07-26T06:33:24Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk/non-medium-disk-errors-in-stm/m-p/4914074#M7898 Just what I was looking for.
