Field Description
DPO
Disable Page Out. When the value of the field = 1, the device server will assign the logical
blocks accessed by this command the lowest priority for being fetched into or retained by the
cache.
When DPO = 0, the priority will be determined by fields in the Caching page.
BytChk
Byte Check. When the value is 1, the drive performs a byte-by-byte comparison of the data
on the medium with the data sent by the initiator in the data-out buffer transfer.
When 0, the drive performs a medium verification with no data comparison. In this case, no
data is sent by the initiator.
RelAdr Relative Address. This feature is not supported; the field must be 0.
Logical
Block
Address
The address of the first logical sector to be verified.
Verifica-
tion Length
The number of contiguous sectors that are to be verified. The drive returns a CHECK CON-
DITION status with the correct sense data if the specified transfer extends beyond out of the
logical sector space.
