Running the test

Before you run the test, complete the test setup as described in the test requirements at Hard Disk Drive Testing Prerequisites and SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) Device Testing Prerequisites.

To run this test you must set the DiskDeviceObjLink parameter. This parameter represents the physical path to the test device, for example \\.\PhysicalDrive1. If testing an MPIO device, this should be the path to the Pseudo-LUN.

Troubleshooting

For generic troubleshooting of HLK test failures, see Troubleshooting Windows HLK Test Failures.

If a failure is observed in the SES Tes, run scsicompliance.exe /device "<Device Instance ID>" /verbosity 4 /scenario SSP /operation test /SESDisk \\.\<Drive Number> (for example, scsicompliance.exe /device "SCSI\ENCLOSURE&VEN_LSI_CORP&PROD_SAS2X36\7&7B0A3DA&0&005600" /verbosity 4 /scenario SSP /operation test /SESDisk \\.\PhysicalDrive19)

Scsicompliance.exe can be found at <controller path> \Windows Kits\8.0\Hardware Certification Kit\Tests\<arch>\NTTEST\driverstest\storage\wdk\.

The most relevant log is scsicompliance.wtl.

For troubleshooting information, see Troubleshooting Device.Storage Testing.

Errors from this test occur via issues identified in the log file and in bug checks produced through stressing the driver under test.

More information

This test will focus on measuring the SCSI device compliance on Windows. The goal is twofold - to ensure that SCSI devices supported on the Windows operating system fully and completely adhere to the SCSI specifications set forth in SPC-4 and SES-3, as well as to allow us and our partners to fully respect and comply with these standards. Maintaining compliance will lead to a stronger and more reliable system overall.

Note

For more information about these specifications, visit the Technical Committee T10 SCSI Storage Interfaces website.

The test sends the following commands to the device:

Receive Diagnostic Results: 0x00, 0X01, 0X02, 0X07, 0X0A pages.
Send Diagnostic: 0x02 page.
Inquiry: VPD 0x83 Page.

Command syntax
