Scope:

This part of ISO/IEC 14776 defines the command set extensions to facilitate operation of SCSI direct access block devices. The clauses in this standard, implemented in conjunction with the applicable clauses of SPC-4, specify the standard command set for SCSI direct access block devices.

The objectives of this standard are to:

a) permit an application client to communicate over a SCSI service delivery subsystem (see SAM-5) with a logical unit that declares itself to be a direct access block device in the PERIPHERAL DEVICE TYPE field of the standard INQUIRY data (see SPC-4); and
b) define commands and parameters unique to the direct access block device type.

Project need:

To review the Standard within the required 5 year period.
