1.8 Data Block Addressing
This chapter describes the basic logical specifications of the IDD command processing functions.
Note: The IDD operates as the target (TARG) on the SCSI bus. In the explanations in this chapter, the IDD
is mentioned as “TARG”, except in cases where a particularly clear distinction is necessary.
1.1 Command Format
Input/output operation commands from INIT (initiator) to the IDD are accomplished by the CDB
(Command Descriptor Block). The CDB is information transferred from INIT to TARG in the COMMAND phase. In a number of commands, the parameters which are necessary for command execution in the DATA OUT phase may be specified in addition to the CDB specification. Details concerning these are described in the specifications for each individual command in Chapter 3.
The CDB used by the IDD has 3 formats, these formats have length of 6, 10 and 12 bytes. The basic format of each respective CDB is shown in Figures 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3.

The meanings of each of the fields in the CDB are explained below. Depending on the type of command,
the basic format of the CDB, the definitions of fields and their meanings may differ. Details are described in the specifications for each individual command in Chapter 3.
1-2 C141-C010
1.1 Command Format
(1) Operation code
Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Group Code Command Code
The leading byte of all CDBs shows the format and type of command to be executed.
a. Group code
The group code specifies the number of bytes and format of the CDB. The groups of commands
shown below are used in the IDD.
• Group 0 (“000”):6-byte CDB (Shown in Figure 1.1)
• Group 1 (“001”):10-byte CDB (Shown in Figure 1.2)
• Group 2 (“010”):10-byte CDB (Shown in Figure 1.2)
• Group 3 ("011"):Reserved Operation Code (Shown in (6))
• Group 4 ("100"):16-byte CDB
• Group 5 ("101"):12-byte CDB (Shown in Figure 1.3)
• Group 6 ("110"):Vendor unique code (Shown in Section 1.7.3)
• Group 7 ("111"):Vendor unique code (Shown in Section 1.7.3)
b. Command code
Command code specifies the type of command in each group.
(2) LUN (Logical Unit Number)
This field specifies the address of the logical unit (device) connected under the TARG in cases where the
IDENTIFY message is not used. If the IDENTIFY message is used, the value of the CDB’s LUN field is ignored when the LUN is specified.
Note:
It is possible that the definition of this field may be changed in future SCSI standards. It is
recommended that the LUN be specified using the IDENTIFY message, and that a zero be specified in this CDB field.
(3) Logical block address
This field shows the leading logical data block address of the data block on the disk media to be
processed by the command. In the group 0 CDB, 21-bit block addressing is possible and in the group 1, group 2 and group 5 CDBs, 32-bit block addressing is possible. Specifications for logical data block addressing in the IDD are described in Section 1.8.
C141-C010 1-3
Command Processing
(4) Transfer data length
In this field, the length of data to be transferred between INIT and TARG when the command is executed
is specified by the number of logical data blocks or the number of bytes. In subsequent descriptions, the former is called the “transfer block count” and the latter is called the “transfer byte length” or “parameter list length.”
Furthermore, this field may be used with a different meaning, or it may not have any meaning at all,
depending on the type of command. There are also some commands which allocate 3 or more bytes as the transfer data length field. Detailed specifications of these commands are described in the individual command specifications in Chapter 3.
a. Transfer block count
When the “Transfer Data Length” is specified as the “Transfer Block Count,” this field specifies the
number of logical data blocks to be transferred between INIT and the IDD.
In commands where this field is 1 byte in length, if the field’s specified value is 0, it is regarded as
specifying 256 blocks, and it is possible to specify a block count ranging from 1 to 256 blocks. On the other hand, in commands where this field is 2 bytes in length, if the field’s specified value is 0, no data transfer is executed. It is possible to specify a block count ranging from 0 to 65,535 blocks.
b. Transfer byte length or parameter list length
When this field is specified as the “Transfer Byte Length” or “Parameter List Length,” that command
specifies data length to be transferred between the INIT and the IDD, expressed as the number of bytes. When 0 is specified in this field, data transfer is not executed, except in cases where it is expressly stated in the individual command specifications in Chapter 3.
In commands which send parameters necessary for executing a command from the INIT to the IDD,
this field is called the “Parameter List Length,” and it specifies the total number of types in the parameter list which the INIT is sending.
On the other hand, in commands for receiving information from the IDD (REQUEST SENSE,
INQUIRY, etc.), this field is called the “Transfer Byte Length,” and specifies the maximum number of bytes which the INIT can receive (the number of bytes of area secured within the INIT for receiving information). The IDD transfers either the number of effective bytes of the type of information specified in the command, or the value specified in the “Transfer Byte Length” field, whichever is the smallest number of bytes, and only that number, to the INIT.

(5) Control byte
Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Link
a. Link
Command link is specified by this bit is “1.” Details of the operation of the command link are
described in Section 1.3.2.
b. Bit 7, 6 (vendor unique)
When 1 is specified in these bits, the command ends with a CHECK CONDITION status.
(6) Handling an illegal CDB
If there is an error in the contents of a description (specification) in the CDB, or if there is an error in the
specifications in parameters transferred from the INIT by CDB specifying, that command ends with a CHECK CONDITION status. In the case of a command to change the data on the disk media, when there is an error in the CDB’s specifications, the disk media is not changed by that command. But when there is an error in the parameters transferred in the DATA OUT phase, the contents of the disk media in the range specified by the command may be changed. Also, even in cases where there is an error in the CDB’s specifications in a command accompanying the DATA OUT phase, the DATA OUT phase is executed after the COMMAND phase is terminated, but those data are not used. For example, if there is an error in the CDB specification of a WRITE command, the IDD executes the transfers several bytes of data (the data length to be transferred is not specified), but those data are not written to the disk media. Details are described in the individual command specifications in Chapter 3.
If there is an error in the CDB specification in a command which executes disconnect processing (shown
in Section 1.3.3), the disconnect processing may be executed after the COMMAND phase is terminated. In this case, reconnect processing is executed afterward and the status (CHECK CONDITION) is reported.
Note:
If a CDB with an undefined group code (group 3) is specified, the IDD requests transfer of 10 bytes
in the COMMAND phase. After that has been received, the status (CHECK CONDITION) is reported.
C141-C010 1-5
Command Processing
1.2 Status
Figure 1.4 shows the type of status that the IDD supports.
The status is one byte of information sent from the TARG to the INIT in the STATUS phase when one
command is completed, and notifies the INIT of the results of the command’s execution. The status is also sent even in cases when the TARG is in a state which it makes it impossible for it to execute the command when it receives a request for an input/output operation. However, if the command is cleared by switching to the BUS FREE phase forcibly through an ABORT TASK SET message, an ABORT TASK message, a CLEAR TASK SET message, a TARGET RESET message, a RESET condition or a SCSI bus error state, etc., the status for that command is not reported.
After the TARG reports the status in the STATUS phase, it will always send a TASK COMPLETE
message or a LINKED TASK COMPLETE (WITH FLAG) message to notify the INIT of the validity of the status.

00h GOOD Status
02h CHECK CONDITION Status
04h CONDITION MET Status
08h BUSY Status

14h INTERMEDIATE CONDITION MET Status
18h RESERVATION CONFLICT Status
22h COMMAND TERMINATED Status
28h TASK SET FULL Status
Figure 1.4 Status
(1) GOOD status
This status indicates that execution of the command ended normally.
1-6 C141-C010
1.2 Status
(2) CHECK CONDITION status
This status is reported in the following cases a) to c). The IDD generates sense data when it reports this
status and indicates the detailed cause. The INIT issues a REQUEST SENSE command when it receives this status and should sample sense data.
a) If the sense key of the sense data indicates RECOVERED ERROR [=1], the last command, which is
the last command, indicates that it ended normally with the error recovery processing executed by the IDD.
b) If the sense key of the sense data indicates UNIT ATTENTION [=6], it indicates that the IDD was
holding the UNIT ATTENTION condition. Details of the UNIT ATTENTION condition are described in Section 1.5.
c) In cases other than the above, it indicates that command execution is impossible, or that command
execution was terminated abnormally.
(3) CONDITION MET Status
This status is reported when it is possible to secure the cache memory area necessary for reading all the logical
data blocks specified in the PRE-FETCH command (in the case of “Immed = 1”), or when reading of all the specified logical data blocks is completed (in the case of “Immed = 0”).
The IDD does not support the PRE-FETCH command. Therefore, this status is not reported.
(4) BUSY status
This status indicates that the IDD is in the busy state and it cannot receive a new command. Normally, an
INIT that receives this status reissues the original command after waiting an appropriate period of time.
The IDD reports the BUSY status in the following cases (the command stack function is explained in
Section 1.4).
a) If the IDD receives a new command while it is executing or is queuing command (except a command
without executing disconnect processing as shown in Section 1.3.3) but the INIT which issued that command does not satisfy the disconnect enable conditions.
b) If the IDD receives a command without executing disconnect processing (as shown in Section 1.3.3)
while it is executing or is queuing command.
c) If the DISCONNECT message for command queuing has been rejected by the INIT while the IDD is
executing or queuing command.
d) If a command with executing untagged disconnect processing is received while the command queue is
full.
(5) INTERMEDIATE status
This status indicates that a command which specifies a link (except the last command in a group of linked
commands with “1” as its Link bit) has been completed normally. If a command which specifies a link is completed abnormally and the CHECK CONDITION status or RESERVATION CONFLICT status is reported, the command link is broken an the subsequent linked commands are not executed.
C141-C010 1-7
Command Processing
(6) INTERMEDIATE CONDITION MET Status
This status is reported when it is possible to secure the cache memory area necessary to read all the
logical data blocks specified in a PRE-FETCH command which specifies a link (in the case of “Immed = 1”), or when reading of all the specified logical data blocks is completed (in the case of “Immed = 0”).
The IDD does not support the PRE-FETCH command. Therefore, this status is not reported.
(7) RESERVATION CONFLICT status
This status indicates that the IDD is reserved by another INIT, and that use is impossible until the
reserved status is canceled. Normally, an INIT which receives this status reissues the original command after waiting an appropriate period of time.
(8) COMMAND TERMINATED status
This status is reported when the IDD has completed the executing input/output operation when it received
a TERMINATE I/O PROCESS message from the INIT.
The IDD does not support the TERMINATE I/O PROCESS message. Therefore, this status is not
reported.
(9) TASK SET FULL status
This status is reported if the IDD cannot register a received tagged command in the command queue
because there is no empty space in the command queue.
1.3 Outline of Command Processing
1.3.1 Single commands
Following shows single command processing examples which are the most basic operations on the SCSI
bus. Furthermore, if disconnect processing is permitted, it may be accompanied by disconnect/reconnect processing during the command execution, depending on the type of command, but this operation is omitted in the following explanation. The disconnect function is described in Section 1.3.3.
1) The INIT sets the initial values for the command in the command pointer, data pointer and status pointer.
2) The INIT selects the TARG in the SELECTION phase after obtaining the SCSI bus usage in the ARBITRATION phase. After the SELECTION phase is ended, the SCSI bus control is entrusted to the TARG.
3) If the ATTENTION condition exists when the TARG responds to the SELECTION phase, the TARG executes the MESSAGE OUT phase. Normally, the INIT sends the IDENTIFY message as the initial message and specifies the device (LUN) that is the object of the operation.
1-8 C141-C010
1.3 Outline of Command Processing
4) The TARG executes the COMMAND phase and receives the CDB from the INIT. The TARG judges the length of the CDB by the group code in the first byte of the CDB and requests transfer of the necessary number of bytes.
5) The TARG investigates the contents of the command and executes the requested operation. In the case of commands for which data transfer on the SCSI bus is necessary, the DATA IN or the DATA OUT phase is executed.
6) When execution of the command is completed, the TARG reports the execution results by the status in the STATUS phase to the INIT.
7) The TARG reports the TASK COMPLETE message to the INIT in the MESSAGE IN phase and
enters the BUS FREE phase.
1.3.2 Command link
The command link function is a function which causes the TARG to execute continuous processing of
multiple commands. Following shows examples of command link processing.
1) The INIT sets the initial values for the command in the command pointer, data pointer and status pointer.
2) Obtaining the SCSI bus usage, selection of the TARG and specification of the LUN by the IDENTIFY message are the same as in the case of single command.
3) The TARG receives commands from the INIT in the COMMAND phase, but “1” is specified in the Link bit of the control byte of the CDB.
4) The TARG analyzes the command and executes the requested processing.
5) If processing of the command is completed normally, the TARG reports the INTERMEDIATE status in the STATUS phase to the INIT. At this time, the command link function becomes effective.
6) The TARG informs the INIT of the LINKED TASK COMPLETE. When the INIT has received the LINKED TASK COMPLETE message, the command, data and status pointers are updated to the initial values for the next linked command.
7) The TARG enters the COMMAND phase immediately after the MESSAGE IN phase and receives the command to be executed next. After that, it performs either single command (Link bit = “0”) processing or command link (Link bit = “1”) processing.
The command link continues until a command with “0” specified in the Link bit of its CDB is issued or
until a command terminates abnormally.
The command link function is made effective only in the case that commands with link specifications are
completed normally. If a command with a link specification is completed in an error state or in an exception state, the command link function is invalidated. Table 1.1 shows the response of the IDD when commands with a Link specification are terminated.

Only a single logical unit can operate a series of linked commands. When the IDD receives the first
command, the logical unit specified by the IDENTIFY message or the LUN field of the CDB becomes the object of operation in a series of linked commands and the values specified in the LUN field in the second and subsequent CDBs are disregarded.
Note:
An INIT which uses the command link function must make the ATN signal in the SELECTION phase
TRUE and notify the TARG that it is capable of receiving messages other than the
TASK
COMPLETE message. If “1” has been specified in the Link bit of the CDB without the ATN being made TRUE by the INIT in the SELECTION phase, the IDD terminates that command abnormally by sending a CHECK CONDITION status (ILLEGAL REQUEST [=5] / Invalid field in CDB [=24-00]).
1-10 C141-C010
1.3 Outline of Command Processing
1.3.3 Disconnect/reconnect processing
When processing is performed by the TARG during the command execution process which does not
require operation on the SCSI bus, the TARG can return the SCSI bus to the BUS FREE phase temporarily by disconnect processing and execute command internally. Through this function, the INIT is enabled to process multiple commands on the SCSI bus.
(1) Disconnect permission conditions and commands with executing disconnect process
If all of the conditions shown below for permitting a disconnect are satisfied, the IDD executes
disconnect processing. However, As shown in Table 1.2, disconnect processing may be valid or invalid, and the disconnect processing execution timing may differ, depending on the type of command.
Conditions for Permitting a Disconnect
1) The SCSI ID of the INIT is notified in the SELECTION phase.
2) The INIT generates the ATTENTION condition in the SELECTION phase.
3) The INIT notifies the TARG that disconnect processing is permitted by an IDENTIFY message.

(Note 1) Commands without executing disconnect processing: In cases only where commands are issued
without a tag, queuing processing (see Section 1.4) and disconnect processing cannot be performed in the execution sequence.
(Note 2) Commands with executing disconnect processing: Regardless of command queuing, in a command’s
execution process (after the COMMAND phase is completed, or during or after the completion of data transfer), disconnect processing is performed. However, in the case of commands with a data state (in cases where it is hit in the cache, etc.), or with a number of processing modes, other than cases where the command is in a queue, disconnect processing may not be executed depending on the processing content specification of the command.
