STATUS_INVALID_FIELD_IN_PARAMETER_LIST
The invalid value is in parameter data, not necessarily in the command descriptor block
STATUS_INVALID_FIELD_IN_PARAMETER_LIST corresponds to a specific class of command-validation failure. The T10 ASC/ASCQ assignments include 26h/00h INVALID FIELD IN PARAMETER LIST. That is distinct from 24h/00h INVALID FIELD IN CDB: one points at parameter data supplied with the command, while the other concerns the command descriptor block itself.
Preserve the exact parameter buffer before any retry or normalization. Device sense information can include additional details used by a storage class driver’s error interpretation. The failure may be a reserved bit, unsupported option, invalid descriptor field, or a value that is inconsistent with another field; the NTSTATUS alone does not identify which byte.
Sending the same list repeatedly is not recovery. Decode the list using the command specification and the target’s supported feature set, then correct the producer that serialized the invalid field.
What to inspect
- Raw command descriptor block, parameter-list bytes, list length, and complete sense data.
- The command specification revision and target capability data used to populate optional fields.
- Any structure packing, endian conversion, or version-dependent branch in the parameter serializer.
