[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] iSCSI: Parameter Negotiation (draft -05)Julian: I have a question on the following text in section 4.3: Operational parameter negotiation MAY involve several request- response exchanges (login and/or text) always driven by the initiator. The initiator MUST indicate its intent to terminate the negotiation by setting the F bit to 1; the target sets the F bit to 1 on the last response. The last response must be the Login Response. If the target responds to a text or Login command with the F bit set to 1, with a text response with the F bit set to 0, or a login response with the text bit set to 0, the initiator must keep sending the text command (even empty) with the F bit set to 1 until it gets the Login Response with the F bit set to 1. Is the target allowed to introduce a parameter into the negotiation process? That is, is the following sequence valid: Text Cmd, F=1 I -> A=<a> B=<b> Text Rsp, F=0 T -> A=<a> B=<b> C=<c> If not, when would the target ever want to response with F=1 to a F=0 Text Command in the operational parameter negotiation phase? I know there was a thread on this before, but it was not clear to me how it was resolved. Thanks, Steve Senum
