2.1.2Operation mode setting

(1)MODE SELECT parameter

In order to make it possible to control from the INIT the reconnection processing start timing for executing data transfers with the SCSI bus in read and write operations, the IDD is provided with the MODE SELECT parameter (Disconnect/Reconnect Parameter: Page code = 2) shown in Figure 2.4. The user can set the optimum operating state in the system environment as necessary. The IDD holds the MODE SELECT parameter individually for each INIT's SCSI ID, so the specified parameter values can differ for each INIT. See Section 3.1.5 for details of the MODE SELECT command.

a.Buffer full ratio

This parameter specifies the timing for the IDD to start reconnection to perform data transfer to the INIT in a READ or READ EXTENDED command.

The value specified in this parameter (n) shows the amount of data read to the IDD's data buffer from the disk media as a proportion [n/256] of the total capacity of the data buffer until reconnection processing with the SCSI bus is started. (Note)

If it is possible to transfer the amount of data specified in this parameter to the INIT from the data buffer, reconnection processing is executed and transfer of data to the INIT begins. However, if the total amount of transfer data specified in the command does not fill the capacity of the cache segment, the IDD executes reconnection processing and begins transferring data to the INIT when it becomes possible to transfer the amount of data blocks from the data buffer which is equivalent to the proportion of the total volume of transfer data blocks specified in the command that is specified by this parameter.

For example, if a read operation of 16 blocks with a logical data block length of 512 bytes (8 Kbytes) is requested, when the value specified in this parameter is 32, reconnection processing
