The Log Page Descriptor - Sony SDX-900V Product Specifications

6.Command Specification
Page Code: The Page Code field identifies which log page is being requested by the initiator. If the page is not
supported then the command will terminate with a CHECK CONDITION status with the sense key set to ILLEGAL
REQUEST and an additional sense code of INVALID FIELD IN CDB.
Supported pages are:
Page Code
Parameter Pointer: The Parameter Pointer field allows the host to specify at which parameter within a log page the
requested data should begin.
For example if a page supported parameters 0 through 5, and the Parameter Pointer field contained 3 then only
parameters 3, 4 and 5 would be returned to the initiator. Similarly, if a page supported parameters 1, 3 and 6, and the
Parameter Pointer field contained 2, then only parameters 3 and 6 would be returned to the initiator.
Note that parameters within a page are always returned in ascending order according to parameter code. If an
invalid parameter pointer is sent the drive will return CHECK CONDITION with the sense key set to ILLEGAL
REQUEST and an additional sense code of INVALID FIELD IN CDB.
Allocation Length: The Allocation Length field is used to inform the target how much space the initiator has
allocated for data. Note however that if this field is 0 then this is not considered an error and the device will just return
a GOOD STATUS.
