6 COMMAND DESCRIPTIONS

By making use of the save function, the host computer can eliminate the reissuing of
the MODE SELECT command each time the controller is powered on; that is, the
controller can automatically restore the current values from the saved values.
The PF (Page Format) bit is ignored. All data must comply to the pages as described
in this manual.
The SP (Save Parameters) bit, when set to 1, indicates that the controller saves this
specified page and parameters (current values) into the system area of the drive after
updating the parameters in the specified page. The following pages are savable:
•
Read-write error recovery page (page code 1
H
)
•
Disconnect-reconnect page (page code 2
H
)
•
Verify error recovery page (page code 7
H
)
•
Caching page (page code 8
H
)
•
Control mode page (page code A
H
)
•
XOR Control page (page code 10
H
)
•
Enclosure Service Management page (page code 14
H
)
•
Fibre Channel Specification page (page code 19
H
)
•
Power Condition Control Page (page code 1A
H
)
•
Informational Exceptions Condition page (page code 1C
H
)
When the SP bit is set to 0, the controller only updates the parameters and does not
save them.
The Parameter List Length specifies the length in bytes of the MODE SELECT
parameter list to be transferred in the Data Out phase. A parameter list length of 0
specifies that no data is to be transferred. This condition, however, is not considered
an error.
The Mode Select Parameter List (Table 6-38) consists of a 4-byte header, followed by
zero or one block descriptors, followed by zero or more page descriptors.
The 4-byte Mode Select header must always be transferred whenever the Mode
Select parameter list is transferred. If this is not satisfied, the CHECK
CONDITION status with ILLEGAL REQUEST sense key is reported.
The controller will create the CHECK CONDITION status with ILLEGAL
REQUEST sense key if an invalid field or bit value is specified as follows:
If the controller cannot implement the exact value of parameter requested by the
host computer and the parameter rounding is permitted, the controller rounds the
value to its nearest value within its supporting range.
