This command is used in combination with the READ BUFFER command to
diagnose the normality of the IDD's data buffer memory or the SAS interface, or
to download microcode to the IDD.
The IDD stores data transferred from the INIT in accordance with the
specifications in this command's CDB to in the data buffer in the IDD. This
command, using buffer addresses with a range of X'000000' to X'693660', must
specify data storage positions in 1-byte units, and with 4-byte units addresses.
The INIT can know the IDD's buffer configuration and the units which addresses
can be specified in by issuing the READ BUFFER command.
The functions of this command and the format of data transferred from the INIT
are specified in the "Mode" field in byte 1 of the CDB and any of the transfer
modes shown in Table 4.120 can be selected.
