Test 9.2.1 - SSP Command IU – TAG
Purpose: To determine that the DUT properly sets the TAG field.
References:
9.2.1 SAS Standard
Resource Requirements: SAS Protocol Analyzer and Generator. SAS Target with 2 LUNs within the same SSP
Target Port. If the DUT is an initiator, it will need to have software capable of generating SCSI traffic.
Revision History: February 8, 2005
Test Setup: The DUT and the Testing Station are physically connected. The DUT is not powered on.
Test Procedure (SSP Targets):
• Power on the DUT.
• The Testing Station should start and complete a Phy Reset sequence followed by an Identify sequence
with the DUT. Since the DUT is a target the Testing Station should transmit an Identify Address frame
indicating that it is an initiator.
• The Testing Station should open an SSP connection to the DUT. The Testing Station should transmit a
READ command to the DUT.
• Wait for the DUT to open an SSP connection to the Testing Station. Allow the DUT to transmit DATA
and SCSI Response to the Testing Station.
• The Testing Station should open an SSP connection to the DUT. The Testing Station should transmit a
WRITE command to the DUT.
• Wait for the DUT to open an SSP connection to the Testing Station. Allow the DUT to transmit
XFER_RDY, then the Testing Station should transmit a SSP DATA frame. Allow the DUT to transmit
a SCSI Response to the Testing Station.
Observable Results: If the DUT is a target, verify that the TAG in the XFER_RDY, DATA and RESPONSE
frames matched the TAG of the COMMAND frames which they corresponded to.
