The value of the Support field describes the type of support that the disk drive provides for Com-

mand Support Data.

 

 

 

 

Value

Description

 

 

 

 

000b

Data about the requested SCSI operation code is not currently avail-

 

able. In this case, all data after Byte 1 is undefined.

 

 

 

001b

The device does not support the SCSI operation code requested. In

 

this case, all data after Byte 1 is undefined

 

 

 

010b

Reserved

 

 

 

 

011b

The device supports the SCSI operation code in conformance with

 

the SCSI standard.

 

 

 

100b

Vendor-Specific

 

 

 

 

101b

The device supports the SCSI operation code, but in a vendor-spe-

 

cific manner

ISO-Version

ECMA-Version

 

Must be 0.

 

 

 

ANSI-Approved

CDB Size

This field contains the number of bytes in the CDB for the Operation Code being requested and

 

the size of the CDB Usage Data in the data that is returned in response to the INQUIRY.

CDB Usage Data

This field contains information about the CDB for the Operation Code being queried. Note that

the first byte of the CDB Usage Data contains the OpCode for the operation specified. All of the

 

other bytes of the CDB Usage Data contain a map for bits in the CDB of the OpCode specified.

Note: The bits in the map have a 1-to-1 correspondence to the CDB for the OpCode being queried. That is, if the device senses a bit as the entire field or as part of the field of the operation, the map in CDB Usage Data contains a 1 in the corresponding bit position. If the device ignores a bit or declares a bit as “reserved” in the CDB for the OpCode being queried, the map has a 0 in that corresponding bit position. Refer to Table 5-36for a list of the data returned for each of the OpCode values that can be sent in the INQUIRY command.
