Unexpected sense
Hello,
On one of our Dell PowerEdge 2950 + md1000 we receive strange notifications in server's log file (CentOS 6 messages log):
Server Administrator: Storage Service EventID: 2095 Unexpected sense. SCSI sense data: Sense key: 5 Sense code: 35 Sense qualifier: 1: Enclosure 0:0 Controller 1, Connector 0
Same we see in openmanage's alertlog:
Severity : Ok
ID : 2095
Category : Storage Service
Description : Unexpected sense. SCSI sense data: Sense key: 5 Sense code: 35 Sense qualifier: 1: Enclosure 0:0 Controller 1, Connector 0
Should we worry about this? We have latest PERC 6/E Adapter firmware (6.3.3.0002).

Hello, Jaksis.
It sounds like you have a physical disk that's giving the controller some grief. It's probably due to a difference in firmware for this particular disk versus the others. Here's a link that will offer some insight into the various "sense keys" to help:
en.wikipedia.org/.../Key_Code_Qualifier
This one in particular has to do with an illegal request - unsupported enclosure function. Or, the firmware on the controller passed a command that the enclosure decided it didn't understand, or recognize.
I'd look into updating firmware on the disks, and the EMM's on the MD1000.
You can find that software here:

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Have a great weekend!
