Description
0b 0b 0xb
This is not an error. The device server shall make no changes to any log parameter values and shall not
save any values to non-volatile media.
0b 1b 00b
The device server shall make no changes to any log parameter values and shall process the optional
saving of current parameter values as follows:
a) if the values are current threshold data counter parameters, then:
A) if the device server implements saving of the current threshold values, the device server shall
save all current threshold values to non-volatile media; or
B) if the device server does not implement saving of the current threshold values, the device
server shall terminate the command.
[a]
or
b) if the values are current list parameters, then:
A) if the device server implements saving of the current list parameters, the device server shall
save all current list parameters to non-volatile media; or
B) if the device server does not implement saving of the current list parameters, the device
server shall terminate the command.
[a]
0b 1b 01b
The device server shall make no change to any log parameter values and shall process the optional
saving of current parameter values as follows:
a) if the values are current cumulative data counter parameters, then:
A) if the device server implements saving of the current cumulative values, the device server
shall save all current cumulative values to non-volatile media; or
B) if the device server does not implement saving of the current cumulative values, the device
server shall terminate the command.
[a]
or
b) if the values are current list parameters, then:
A) if the device server implements saving of the current list parameters, the device server shall
save all current list parameters to non-volatile media; or
B) if the device server does not implement saving of the current list parameters, the device
server shall terminate the command.
[a]
0b xb 10b
The device server shall set all current threshold values to the vendor specific default threshold
values
[b]
and shall not save any values to non-volatile media.
0b xb 11b
The device server shall set all current cumulative values to the vendor specific default cumulative values
[b]
and shall not save any values to non-volatile media.
1b 0b xxb
The device server shall:
a) set all current threshold values to the vendor specific default threshold values;
[b]
b) set all current cumulative values to the vendor specific default cumulative values;
[b]
c) set all list parameters to their vendor specific default values; and
d) not save any values to non-volatile media.
[a] The command shall be terminated with CHECK CONDITION status, with the sense key set to ILLEGAL REQUEST,
and the additional sense code set to INVALID FIELD IN CDB.
[b] Vendor specific default threshold values and vendor specific default cumulative values may be zero.
