The additional page length indicates the number of bytes in that page. The additional

 

 

 

 

page length field value does not include bytes 0 and 1 of that page (the page code

 

 

 

 

and additional page length fields, respectively).

 

 

 

 

 

If the initiator sends an incorrect length in the Page Length field or sends page fields with values that are not supported by the target or are not changeable, the target returns a CHECK CONDI- TION status with the sense key field set to ILLEGAL REQUEST in the sense data. In this case, no parameters are changed by this command.
