SET DEVICE IDENTIFIER A4h
SET DEVICE IDENTIFIER allows a initiator to set the Device ID information to that supplied in the
Parameter List. This information can be later retrieved by the
REPORT DEVICE IDENTIFIER command.
Upon successful completion the command will post sense key
UNIT ATTENTION with additional
sense of 3F05h (device identifier changed) to all initiators except the one that issued the
command. Once set the Device Identifier will only be cleared by a successful Set Device Identifier
command or a drive reset.
