Test 9.6.1 - SSP ERROR HANDLING – Invalid Length
Purpose: To determine that the DUT, an SSP Target port properly handles a command received which is too short
to contain a valid CDB.
References:
9.2.5.1 SAS Standard
Resource Requirements: SAS Protocol Analyzer and Generator.
Revision History: September 27, 2004
Test Setup: The DUT and the Testing Station are physically connected.
Test Procedure (SSP Target):
• 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 a SAS Initiator.
• The Testing Station should open an SSP connection to the DUT and transmit a SCSI INQUIRY
command with a too short CDB. Close the connection
• Allow the DUT to open an SSP connection and transmit a SCSI response frame to the received
command and data.
Observable Results: Verify that if the DUT sets the DATAPRES field to RESPONSE_DATA and the RESPONSE
CODE field to INVALD FRAME.
