address. If the hard address has not changed from the address obtained in a previous successful loop initialization, the target will attempt to obtain the address in the LIFA phase if a valid Fabric Login exists or LIPA phase of loop initialization. If the hard address has changed, the target will attempt to obtain the new address in the LIHA phase. When the RHA bit is set to zero, the target follows the normal initialization procedure, including the possibility of obtaining a soft address during the loop initialization process. When not attached to an arbitrated loop, this field is ignored the RHA bit. Allow Login without Loop Initialization (ALWI) -This field returns zero to indicate the target will perform the normal loop initialization procedure before entering the monitoring mode and accepting a login ELS. This field is ignored when not attached to an arbitrated loop. Disable Target Initiated Port Enable (DTIPE) -This field returns zero to indicate the target will enable itself onto the loop according to the rules specified in FC-AL-2. This field is ignored when not attached to an arbitrated loop. Disable Target Originated Loop (DTOLI) -This field returns zero to indicate the target attached by an arbitrated loop will generate LIP(F7,xx) after it enables a port into a loop. If the target is attached to an arbitrated loop and detects loop failure at its input, it shall follow the error initialization process defined by FC-AL-2 regardless of the state of this bit. This field is ignored when not attached to an arbitrated loop. RR_TOV Units - This field indicates the units for the Resource Recovery Time-out Value field. A value of 3 is returned to indicate the units are in tenths of seconds. Resource Recovery Time-out Value (RR_TOV) - A value of 20 is returned, indicating a time-out value of 2 seconds. Informational Exceptions Control Page (1Ch) The Informational Exceptions Control mode page describes the capabilities of the library for reporting exception conditions. It was previously known as the Tape Alert mode page when exception conditions were limited to only Tape Alert flags. The main purpose of this page is to indicate that the library can report exception conditions by being polled. The exception conditions primarily involve the Tape Alert flags, but may include additional conditions as well, as defined by the Sense Data.
