Abstract
Methods, apparatus and computer program products implement embodiments of the present invention that enable a device such as a disk drive, to receive a configuration message including an error in implementing an operation on the device and a statistical frequency of an occurrence of the error. Upon configuration, the device can receive multiple requests for the operation, and at the statistical frequency, respond to a given one of the requests with the error. In some embodiments the device may convey an error message indicating an occurrence of the error. Alternatively, the device may fail to complete the operation, delay in completing the operation or perform the operation incorrectly.
