Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Interface
1.6.2.5
RESPONSE information unit
Table 1.41 defines the response IU. The RESPONSE frame is sent by an SSP
TARG port to deliver SCSI status (e.g., GOOD or CHECK CONDITION) and
sense data, or to deliver SSP-specific status (e.g., illegal frame format). The
maximum size of the RESPONSE frame is the maximum size of any IU in an SSP
frame.
