12.75 XPWrite (32) command
The XPWrite (32) command requests that the target xor the data transferred with the data on the medium and
then write the xor data to the medium.
If the logical unit is reserved, a reservation conflict occurs when a XPWrite command is received from an initia-
tor other than the one holding the logical unit reservation. The command is rejected with Reservation Conflict
status if the reservation conflict is due to a logical unit reservation. The XPWrite command is evaluated for
extent reservation conflicts. XPWrite commands with a reservation conflict is terminated with Check Condition
status and the sense key is set to Data Protect with the appropriate additional sense code for the condition if
any part of the XPWrite operation is prohibited by an extent reservation.

tain the number of bytes specified by the Additional CDB Length field, the command shall be terminated with a Check Con-
dition status. The sense key shall be set to Illegal Request and the additional sense code shall be set to Invalid Field in
