Appendix C. iSCSI Error Codes

Interpreting software iSCSI error codes

The following table provides us with the information we need to decipher a software iSCSI error code in the vSphere logfiles. If the code is displayed as decimal, we can simply use the decimal column. If the code is displayed as an 8-digit hex code, in order to read it properly, we need to split it into two 4-digit hex numbers and use the Hex Code column. For example, I.E. 00050201 becomes 0005 and 0201.
