3.4 Maintenance, Diagnostic Commands
C141-C010
3-109
Note:
The value of the “Page Parameter Length” field in this response data is a variable length within the
range of [2 + 8n] in the SCSI specifications. For example, If multiple logical data blocks are located
in 1 physical sector, or if 1 logical data block is located in multiple physical sectors, n address
information items are reported as the address conversion results.
In the current IDD specifications, multiple address information items are not reported in this
response data, but the “Page parameter length” always shows X ‘000A.’ However, considering
expanded specifications in the future, the INIT should make it possible to correspond to variable
lengths for the “Page parameter length.”
The “Address Format Before Conversion” field in byte 4 and the “Address Format After Conversion”
field in byte 5 are the same values as the codes which show the expression format for address
information specified by the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command parameters. The “Address Format After
Conversion” field shows the expression format of the address information reported in bytes 6 to 13 of
this response data. “Address format” codes are as shown below.
Code
Address Format
0 0 0
Logical Block Address Format
1 0 0
Byte Distance from the Index Format
1 0 1
Physical Sector Address Format
The description of address information shown in bytes 6 to 13 is the same as the description
specifications in the D List transferred from the INIT by the FORMAT UNIT command. For details, see
the description of the FORMAT UNIT command (Section 3.3.1). Furthermore, When the logical block
format is used, the address is shown in bytes 6 to 9 and zero is reported in the remaining byte positions.
However, when the address information specified in the “SEND DIAGNOSTIC command points to a
position on the disk media which is not used as physical data blocks, X ‘FFFFFFFF 00000000’ is
reported as the logical block address after conversion.
