11.5.1.1 Sense Key Specific Valid (SKSV) and Sense Key Specific
Refer to the appropriate tables in this section for sense key specific values.
Field definitions (listed alphabetically)
BPV (Bit Pointer Valid) and Bit Pointer
0
The value in the bit pointer field is not valid.
1 The bit pointer field specifies the bit of the byte designated by the field pointer that is in error. When a multiple-bit
field is in error, the bit pointer field points to the most significant (left-most) bit of the field.
C/D (Command Data)
1
The illegal parameter is in the command descriptor block.
0 The illegal parameter is in the data parameters sent by the initiator.
Field Pointer
The byte of the command descriptor block or of the parameter data that was in error. Bytes are numbered starting from
zero, as shown in the tables describing the commands and parameters. When a multiple-byte field is in error, the pointer
points to the most significant (left-most) byte of the field.
Note. Bytes identified as being in error are not necessarily the place that has to be changed to correct the problem.
SKSV (Sense Key Specific Valid)
This bit indicates whether the sense key specific data is valid.
0
Data is not valid.
1 Data is valid. See Table 88.
Table 88: Sense Key Specific reference tables
Sense Key field value SKSV Error description See table
05h (Illegal Request) 1
These fields point to illegal parameters in command descriptor blocks
and data parameters sent by the initiator.
89
01h (Recovered Error)
04h (Hardware Error) or
03h (Medium Error)
1
These fields identify the actual number of retries used in attempting
to recover from the error condition.
90
02h (Not Ready) 1
These fields are only defined for the Format Unit command with the
Immed bit set to one (1).
