4.2 CLOSE TRACK/RZONE/SESSION/BORDER Command

This command is valid for CD-R/-RW media, Formatted CD-RW media, DVD-R/-RW/-R DL media, Formatted DVD-RW media and +R/+RW/+R DL media.
The Immed bit is supported. The READ DISC INFORMATION Command or READ TRACK/RZONE INFORMATION Command is used to
detect completion of the close operation. While close operation is performed by the CLOSE TRACK/RZONE/SESSION BORDER Command that the Immed bit is set to one, the drive terminates these commands with the Check Condition status, LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, OPERATION IN PROGRESS (2/04/07).
Note: The TEST UNIT READY Command can not use to identify the completion of close operation because the this command returns Good status while close operation is performed.
The Session/Border bit and the Track/RZone bit specified in SFFC INF-8090i are extended to the Close Function field specified in MMC-5 as follows.

The drive closes the track associated with the track number in the CDB. If the track is an invisible track, no close operation is to be done. If the track is an incomplete track, the drive will write the PMA for the track. If the incomplete track has the length of less than 4 seconds, it will pad with all zero main data to the minimum length of 4 seconds prior to write the PMA. No other padding shall be done. If the track is a partially recorded or empty reserved track, the drive will pad until the end of the track. In the case of an empty track, the drive will write the track according to the Write Parameters Page. If the Write Parameters Page is inconsistent with the PMA, CHECK CONDITION status will be returned and SK/ASC/ASCQ will be set to ILLEGAL REQUEST/ILLEGAL MODE FOR THIS TRACK. For a partially recorded reserved track, the drive will continue writing in the same mode as the data already recorded.
Not valid If this is a Partially Recorded Reserved RZone or the Empty Reserved RZone, the
drive will pad the RZone with 00h bytes. If the RZone status is Invisible, no close operation is to be done. In the case of an Incomplete RZone, no padding is to be done and cached RMD will be written into the RMA.

If the Fragment being closed is an incomplete Fragment and the incomplete Fragment is not blank, then a new DCB will be appended into the Session Identification Zone defining the existence of the Fragment. If the Fragment being closed is an incomplete Fragment and the incomplete Fragment is blank, then the command will be terminated with GOOD status and sense data will be set to NO SENSE/NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. The drive closes the last session. If not all tracks in the last Session are closed, the drive terminates the command with CHECK CONDITION status and sets SK/ASC/ASCQ values to ILLEGAL REQUEST/SESSION FIXATION ERROR – INCOMPLETE TRACK IN SESSION. Behavior of the closing operation is dependent on the Multi-Session field in the Write Parameters Page (05h). If the last session is empty, the command will be terminated with GOOD status.
Not valid The drive closes the last border.
If all RZones in the last Border are not complete, the drive generates CHECK CONDITION Status, 5/72/03 SESSION FIXATION ERROR - INCOMPLETE TRACK IN SESSION. If one or more empty or partially recorded reserved RZones exist in the incomplete Border, the drive generates CHECK CONDITION Status, 5/72/04 EMPTY OR PARTIALLY WRITTEN RESERVED TRACK. Behavior of the closing operation is dependent on the Multisession/Border field in the Write Parameters Mode Page (05h). Closing an empty Border does not produce an error and a write to the media will not occur. When the last bordered area is in the intermediate state, Lead-in and/or Border­out are recorded to make the bordered area complete state. (If the bordered area is to be closed that is the first one, Lead-in and Border-out will be recorded. If the bordered area is to be closed that is second or later one, only the Border-out will be recorded.) If a background format is in progress, the format operation will be stopped and the disc will be structured for removal according to the
Format Specifications
To be concrete, a [partial] lead-in will be written, a [temporary] lead-out will be appended and all unrecorded gaps between lead-in and lead-out will be format written. The radius difference between the start of the temporary lead-out and the end of the temporary lead-out will approximate 1 mm. The data zone will be expanded to ensure that the total recorded area reaches at least a radius of 35 mm. The drive closes the last session. If not all Fragments in the last Session are closed, the Drive will terminate this command with CHECK CONDITION Status and sense data shall be set to ILLEGAL REQUEST/SESSION FIXATION ERROR/ INCOMPLETE TRACK IN SESSION. If upon completion of the closure, less than 65 ECC blocks would remain, the drive will finalize the disc. If the session being closed is session number 154, when the close session is requested, the drive will finalize the disc.

4.3 FORMAT UNIT Command

The CmpLst bit is supported only in DVD-RAM media, must be set to zero with other medias. The Interleave Value field is not supported and must be set to zero. The Format Code field allows the value of 001b and 111b. If Format Code field is set to 001b and a CD-
RW/DVD-RW/DVD-RAM media is mounted, the drive conforms for the definition of SFFC INF-8090i. If Format Code is set to 001b and a +RW media is mounted, the drive conform for the definition of MMC-5. If Format Code is set to 111b and CD-RW media is mounted, the drive conforms for legacy specifications which is described in the definition of MMC-5.
The drive supports following Format Type for each media.

The Format Unit parameter list shall be transferred from the Host to the drive. The data sent to the drive consists of a Format List Header, followed by one Format descriptor, so the parameter list length is always 12 bytes. When the Format Options Valid (FOV) bit in the Format List Header is set to one, the DPRY, DCRT, STPF, IP, Try-out, and VS shall be set to zero. In this case, the format operation is performed with an Immed function specified by the Immed bit. When the FOV bit is set to zero, the DPRY, DCRT, STPF, IP, Try-out, Immed, and VS shall be set to zero. In this case, the format operation is performed with the drive’s internal default setting. The default setting of Immed function is one. Even if the format operation is requested with the FOV bit set to one, the drive’s default setting itself will not be changed.

4.3.1 Format Code = 001b

4.3.1.1 Format Type = 00h (Full Format)
Formatting for the entire media is specified. The Number of Blocks field specifies the number of addressable blocks for the entire disc and the Type Dependent Parameter field specifies the Block Length.
If the Immed function is set to zero, the drive will return the status after the format operation has completed. If the Immed bit is set to one, the drive will return the status as soon as the command descriptor block has been validated, and the entire Format Descriptor has been transferred.
The READ DISC INFORMATION Command, the READ TRACK/RZONE INFORMATION Command and the TEST UNIT READY Command is used to detect completion of the format operation. While format operation is performed by the FORMAT UNIT Command that the Immed function is set to one, the drive terminates these commands with the Check Condition status, LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, FORMAT IN PROGRESS (2/04/04). If the drive returns Good status for these command, format operation has completed.
Page 15
In response to the REQUEST SENSE command, including after the Check Condition status described above, the drive will return a SK/ASC/ASCQ values set to NOT READY/LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY/FORMAT IN PROGRESS, with the sense key specific bytes set for progress indication. The SKSV will be set to one and the Progress Indication field will contain 16 bit unsigned value such that (Progress Indication)/65 536 X 100% approximates the percentage of completion of the operation. Once the operation is completed, the SKSV will be cleared to zero.

4.3.1.1.1 On CD-RW media
The media is formatted using Write Parameter Mode Page information. Some parameters in the Write Parameter Mode Page shall be set as follows; Test Write = 0, Write Type = 0h, FP = 1, Track Mode = 01x1b, Data Block Type = 8h or Ah, Session Format = 00h or 20h, Packet Size = 20h
This format operation is always available regardless of the media condition.
4.3.1.1.2 On DVD-RW media
The media is inserted in the drive, the area from the beginning of the RMA to the end of the Lead-out will be recorded. There is only one bordered area on the medium and the number of RZone is one after this operation.
The Test Write bit in the Write Parameters Mode Page shall be set to zero. This format operation is available on any recording mode and any state of a bordered area.
4.3.1.1.3 On DVD-RAM media
The defect list handling is specified by the combination of the CmpLst bit and the DCRT bit. In the case that the CmpLst bit is set to zero and the DCRT bit is set to one, the Number of Blocks field shall be ignored and the number of addressable blocks shall be retained. In other cases, the Number of Bl ocks field specifies the number of addressable blocks for the whole disc and the Type Dependent Parameter field specifies the Block Length. Neither field is changeabl e from the values reported by READ FORMAT CAPACITIES command.
The defect list handling is decided by the following combinations.

4.3.1.2 Format Type = 01h (Spare Area Expansion)
In order to keep more space as Spare area, this formatting is used. Eventually the capacity of the formatted area is reduced. Therefore, this formatting type is just available with the case of reducti on of formatted capacity. The logical unit shall ignore the defect list handling specified by the combination of the CmpLst bit and the DCRT bit. The defect list entries and the written user data within the range of the area that is specified by this command shall be preserved through the execution of this command. The Number of Blocks field specifies the number of addressable blocks for the whole disc and the Type Dependent Parameter field specifies the Block Length. Neither field is changeable from the values reported by READ FORMAT CAPACITIES command.
4.3.1.3 Format Type = 10h (C/DVD-RW Full Format)
Formatting to create a Session/Border on C/DVD-RW media is specified. If the Immed function is set to zero, the drive will return the status after the format operation has
completed. If the Immed bit is set to one, the drive will return the status as soon as the command descriptor block has been validated, and the entire Format Descriptor has been transferred.
