Target Mode Response Command Page 6 - 15
Target Mode
Response
Command After the adapter has received a selection from an initiator and the Host has
processed the data that it wrote into the Target Selection Data Structure, the
Host must issue a Target Mode Response command to communicate
information to be used by the RF3880 to respond to the initiator that selected it.
Note
This command must be
issued from a Command
List in order to
accommodate the
possibility of two Status
Blocks being returned. Target Mode Response commands are queued by the adapter for execution in
the same manner in which the adapter queues commands when it is operating
as an initiator. Multiple operations in a sequence can be performed on the SCSI
bus. An example: first Target Mode Response command operations—send
data, send Save Data Pointer message, send Disconnect message, and
disconnect; second Target Mode Response command operations—reconnect,
send more data, send status, send Command Complete message, and
disconnect.
An initiator can send an unexpected message at any time. The adapter will
always accept the message, writing it into the Status Block in the Message Byte
Received field.
