The ADDITIONAL CDB LENGTH field contains the length of the
ADDITIONAL CDB field in dwords (four bytes). However, drives do not
support this ADDITIONAL CDB LENGTH field. Therefore, a drive expects a
28-byte long COMMAND frame.
The CDB and ADDITIONAL CDB BYTES fields together contain the CDB to be
interpreted by the addressed logical unit.
The contents of the CDB are defined in the SCSI command standards (e.g.,
SPC-3).
When a drive receives a COMMAND frame, the following items are checked:
•
HASHED DESTINATION SAS ADDRESS field
When this field contains a value different from the Hashed SAS address of
the drive, the drive sends the ACK and CREDIT_BLOCKED primitives, and
discards the COMMAND frame.
•
HASHED SOURCE SAS ADDRESS field
When this field contains a value different from the SOURCE SAS
ADDRESS field of the OPEN frame, the drive sends the
CREDIT_BLOCKED primitive, and discards the COMMAND frame.
