[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] iSNS: Event registry and notificationIn reviewing -02 spec of iSNS, the event registration and notification need more work to live up to the promise (and requirement of Naming and discovery spec) of being lightweight. Right now, it defines catch-all and receive-all events. To start with, an iSCSI initiator MUST be able to register a) for state changes of specific/interested iSCSI targets. b) for addition of iSCSI targets that provide Login access control to this iSCSI initiator Along similar lines, it would also help to provide an iSCSI target the ability to register for an event when an iSCSI initiator is added/removed to the login control list of this iSCSI target. An iSCSI target, upon receiving such a notification, can then simply download the updated list of allowed iSCSI initiators. Such types of notifications help reduce notification storms by - Helping a small iSCSI initiator client receive and process absolutely required notification (Note that totally turning off notification is a BAD idea) - Reducing needless traffic. -JP
