Re: iSCSI Autosense

Why would an initiator not want to use autosense?

I believe the only reason is that the initiator doesn't want
Contingent Allegiance to be cleared automatically.

Why would an initiator not want Contingent Allegiance to be cleared
automatically?

1) Initiator wants to issue a command other than REQUEST SENSE while
the target is in Contingent Allegiance.

2) Initiators rely on the freezing of the target as a means of synchronization.


I don't know of any implementation that relies on 1 or 2.  Does anybody?
