Re: ISCSI: ACA answer

David,

I'm a little bit behind the 8 ball and not getting to do all the
reading I should.  So, I cannot claim to have read the text
behind the following exchange:

} > Reading the task management section, it sort of implies iSCSI
} > targets MUST implement ACA. Is this being mandated?
}
} Yes, ACA is being mandated, per direction from T10.
} Bridging this to non-ACA (legacy) devices is no big deal.

This is an over jealous statement of what I asked ips to do.

The iSCSI draft should clearly describe how the several elements
of ACA are handled/instanciated by the protocol so that any targets
that want to implement ACA can.

However, there is no T10 mandate to make ACA support mandatory
for targets.  The only capability that is T10 thinks is
mandatory for targets is Autosense.

Thanks.
