M2488 PRODUCT GUIDE SCSI MESSAGES
C144-E019-04EN 3-9
When a target sends this message, it changes to MESSAGE IN phase and sends this message prior to
requesting additional message bytes from the initiator. This provides an interlock so that the initiator
can determine which message was rejected.
3-2.13 NO OPERATION code 08h
This message is sent from an initiator in response to a target’s request for a message when the initia-
tor does not currently have any other valid message to send.
3-2.14 RESTORE POINTERS code 03h
This message is sent from a target to direct the initiator to restore the most recently saved pointers,
for the currently attached logical unit, to the active state. Pointers to the command, data, and status
locations for the logical unit are restored to the active pointers. Command and status pointers are
restored to the beginning of the present command and status areas. The data pointer is restored to the
value at the beginning of the data area in the absence of a SAVE DATA POINTER message or to the
value at the point at which the last SAVE DATA POINTER message occurred for that logical unit.
** NOTE **
If a DISCONNECT message is used to break a long data transfer into
two or more shorter transfers, then a SAVE DATA POINTER is
issued before each DISCONNECT message.
3-2.15 SAVE DATA POINTER code 02h
This message is sent from a target to direct the initiator to save a copy of the present active data
pointer for the currently attached logical unit.
