In this chapter, the basic theory and specifications concerning IDD command processing functions are
described.
Note:
The IDD operates as the target (TARG) in the FC LOOP. In the explanations given in this chapter,
the IDD is labeled “TARG”, except in cases where a particularly clear distinction is necessary.
2.1
Command Format
Input/Output commands from the INIT (Initiator) to the IDD are executed by the CDB
(Command Descriptor Block). The CDB is information which is transmitted from the INIT to
the TARG in the FCP_CMND frame. In a number of commands, other than the CDB
specifications, parameters which are necessary in executing a command are specified in the
DATA frame. Details concerning these commands are described in the specifications for
individual commands in Chapter 4.
The CDB used by the IDD has 2 formats, one with a length of 6 bytes and the other with a
length of 10 bytes. The basic format of each respective CDB is shown in Figures 2.1 and 2.2.
