T10/1417-D Revision 16 13 November 2004
6 Working Draft SCSI Block Commands - 2 (SBC-2)
3.1.19 extent: A fixed set of logical blocks occupying contiguous logical block addresses on a single logical
unit.
3.1.20 field: A group of one or more contiguous bits, a part of a larger structure such as a CDB (see 3.1.7) or
sense data (see SPC-3).
3.1.21 format corrupt: a vendor-specific condition in which the application client may not be able to perform
read operations, write operations, or verify operations. See 4.6.
3.1.22 grown defect list (GLIST): All defects sent by the application client to the device server. See 4.8.
3.1.23 hard reset: A condition resulting from the events defined by SAM-3 in which the SCSI device
performs the hard reset operations described in SAM-3, this standard, and other applicable command
standards (see table 10 in 5.1).
3.1.24 I_T nexus loss: A condition resulting from the events defined by SAM-3 in which the SCSI device
performs the I_T nexus loss operations described in SAM-3, this standard, and other applicable command
standards (see table 10 in 5.1).
3.1.25 logical block: A set of data bytes accessed and referenced as a unit.
3.1.26 logical block address (LBA): The value used to reference a logical block.
3.1.27 logical unit certification list (CLIST): Defects detected by the device server during an optional
certification process performed during the FORMAT UNIT command. See 4.8.
3.1.28 logical unit reset: A condition resulting from the events defined by SAM-3 in which the logical unit
performs the logical unit reset operations described in SAM-3, this standard, and other applicable command
standards (see table 10 in 5.1).
3.1.29 media: Plural of medium.
3.1.30 medium: The material on which data is stored (e.g., a magnetic disk).
3.1.31 non-volatile cache: Cache that retains data through power cycles.
3.1.32 non-volatile medium: A physical storage medium that retains data written to it for subsequent read
operations through power cycles (e.g., a disk within a device that stores data as magnetic field changes that
do not require device power to exist).
3.1.33 power cycle: Power being removed followed by power being applied to a SCSI device.
3.1.34 power on: A condition resulting from the events defined by SAM-3 in which the SCSI device performs
the power on operations described in SAM-3, this standard, and other applicable command standards (see
table 10 in 5.1).
3.1.35 primary defect list (PLIST): The list of defects that are considered permanent defects. See 4.8.
3.1.36 protection information: Fields appended to each logical block that contain a cyclic redundancy
check (CRC), an application tag, and a reference tag.
3.1.37 redundancy group: A grouping of XOR-protected data (see 3.1.46) and associated check data (see
3.1.5) into a single type of data redundancy (see SCC-2). This standard only supports the XOR (see 3.1.18)
type of redundancy.
3.1.38 sense data: Data describing an error or exceptional condition that a device server delivers to an
application client in association with CHECK CONDITION status. See SPC-3.
