HP C2488A User Manual

Mode Select, Mode Sense
Mode Select, Mode Sense
The MODE SELECT command provides a means for the Initiator to specify media, logical
unit, or peripheral device parameters to the Target.
The
MODE SENSE command provides a means for a Target to report its media, logical unit,
or peripheral device parameters to the Initiator.
It is a complementary command to the
MODE SELECT command.
Mode Select Command Description
If a MODE SELECT modifies operating parameters that are common to other Initiators,
the Target will report CHECK
CONDITION status and UNIT ATTENTION Sense Key
with Additional
Sense Code of MODIFIED PARAMETERS when next accessed by other
Initiators but not
by the Initiator issuing the MODE SELECT command. This rule does
NOT override the normal first access rule for each Initiator, nor does it override the normal
rules for INQUIRY and REQUEST
SENSE.
