Thanks Matthew for you help. I will go through the SPC-4 and read about it. But I tried the same (above) thing and try to connect the target through open iscsi initiator.In this case on target got 4 as a allocation length (for page of 3f). So how to respond information of all pages in those 4 bytes? or any thing wrong is happening? Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks once again.
