Fujitsu MAX3073NC - SCSI,80, Dell DC961,Hard Drive Scsi Logical Interface Specifications page 65

(1) EVPD (Enable Vital Product Data)
a) If the specification in this bit is zero, the IDD transfers the standard INQUIRY data or the command
supported data, mentioned later, to the application client.
b) If the specification in this bit is one, product information called VPD (vital product data) is
transferred to the application client.
(2) CmdDt (Command Supported Data)
a) If the specification in this bit is zero, the IDD transfers the standard INQUIRY data, mentioned later,
to the application client.
b) If the specification in this bit is one, the IDD transfers the command supported data, mentioned later,
to the application client.
(3) Page code/Operation code
a) When the "EVPD" bit is one, this field specifies that the IDD transfers the kind of the VPD
information.
b) If the "EVPD" bit is zero and the "CmdDt" bit is one, this field specifies the operation code (CDB
byte 0) of commands generated command supported data.
(4) Transfer Byte Length
Byte 4 of the CDB, the "Transfer Byte Length" field, shows the number of bytes of standard INQUIRY
data or VPD information that the application client can receive by this command.
The IDD transfers data with the byte length specified in the "Transfer Byte Length" field, or the byte
length in the standard INQUIRY data or VPD information which it is holding, whichever has the
smallest number of bytes, to the application client. When zero is specified in the "Transfer Byte Length"
field, this command is normally terminated without anything being transferred.
(5) Standard INQUIRY data
Figure 3.1 shows the format and contents of the standard INQUIRY data transferred to the INIT by this
command if "0" is specified in the "EVPD" and the "CmdDt" bit.
