Test 10.1.4 - SCSI CDB – MODE SENSE
Purpose: To determine that the DUT, an SSP Target port, properly handles a MODE SENSE command.
References:
SPC-3 6.9, 7.4.2 table 246
Resource Requirements: SAS Protocol Analyzer and Generator.
Revision History: September 28, 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 MODE
SENSE(6) command to the DUT with the PAGE CODE field set 02h and the SUBPAGE CODE set to
00h. This will request the Disconnect-Reconnect Mode Page. Close the connection
• Allow the DUT to open an SSP connection and transmit DATA, containing standard Disconnect
Reconnect Mode Parameters, and RESPONSE frames to the received command.
Observable Results: Verify that the DUT transmits RESPONSE frame indicating that the command completed
with GOOD status. Verify that the Mode Parameters returned by the DUT are formatted according to table 246 of
SPC-3.
