Clause 6.2.2.3.3 of ADC-2r8 has the following sentence.
An ENABLE bit set to zero specifies that the DT device primary port(s) associated with the SMC logical unit shall not respond to commands and task management requests received on the DT device primary port(s)

Clause 6.2.2.3.3 SMC logical unit descriptor format is describing Logical units and how they are configured.  It seems to me that the enable bit should be related to how the SMC logical unit behaves and not how a port behaves.  In my thinking the enable bit should be enabling the logical unit or disabling it.  The correct response to a command directed at it should be to return a 5/2500 ILLEGAL REQUEST LOGICAL UNIT NOT SUPPORTED.  As ADC-2 reads it says the port shall not respond to any commands or task management functions received on the device primary port(s).  So I cannot respond to anything directed at LUN 0 either.

If you make a stretch and say that "the DT device primary port(s) associated with the SMC logical unit" means that it only applies to the port when the LUN field specifies the SMC logical unit, then we have the behavior that the device drops all requests that are either commands or task management requests and makes no response to the host.  This seems weird to have a port respond to transport specific communications (e.g., selection, LIP, etc) and to requests targeted at other LUNs but to go silent and not respond to those directed at a specific LUN.  I think the HBA will think the device has disappeared or has hung.

This is the same wording for the other LUN pages also.

Am I missing something?
