Re: iSCSI: ACA & AEN

["Prasenjit Sarkar/Almaden/IBM" <psarkar@almaden.ibm.com>]

Ralph,

Yes, these are two separate questions.

I have already gotten the answer for ACA (thank you). The ACA question
is unrelated to bridging.

iSCSI requires the use of AEN in certain circumstances - I would like to
know
T10's guidance on this issue. I believe there are mechanisms in place which
reduce the need to use AENs (as pointed out by Jim Hafner).

Thanks,
Prasenjit

Are these two separate questions?  As far as I know, ACA (Auto
Contingent Allegiance) is a totally different kettle of fish
from AEN (Asynchronous Event Notification).

Thanks.
