If the length is not sufficient to contain all of the parameter da-

 

 

 

ta, the first portion of the data is returned, and this is not con-

 

 

 

sidered to be an error. The actual length of the parameter data

 

 

Allocation Length

is available in the Identifier Length field in the parameter data.

 

 

 

If the remainder of the parameter data is required, the applica-

 

 

 

tion client must send a new REPORT DEVICE IDENTIFIER com-

 

 

 

mand with an Allocation Length field large enough to contain

 

 

 

all of the data.

The REPORT DEVICE IDENTIFIER command’s parameter list contains a 4-byte field that provides the length, in bytes, of the parameter list and the logical unit’s identifier. The data format and field descriptions are shown in Table 5-167and Table 5-168respectively.
