Re: Asynchronous Message: Session Termination

Mathhew, Mark, Matt & Santosh:

Here is the new text for 2.17.1

1.1.1     iSCSI Event

   The codes used for iSCSI Asynchronous Messages (Events) are:

      0    No iSCSI Event
      1    Target is being reset.
      2    Target requests Logout - the Parameter1 field indicates on what
      CID.
      3    Target indicates it will drop the connection - the Parameter1
      field will indicate on what CID while the Parameter2 field indicates,
      in seconds, the minimum time to wait before attempting to reconnect
      and Parameter3 the maximum time to reconnect  after the initial wait
      (Parameter2). If the initiator does not attempt to reconnect within
      the time specified by Parameter 3 or Parameter 3 is 0 no other
      responses should be expected from the target for outstanding commands
      on this connection and the initiator should terminate them
      appropriately. A value of 0 for Parameter 2 indicates that reconnect
      can be attempted immediately.
      4    Target indicates it will drop all connections - the Parameter2
      field indicates, in seconds, the minimum time to wait before
      attempting to reconnect and Parameter3 the maximum time to reconnect
      after the initial wait (Parameter2). If the initiator does not
      attempt to reconnect within the time specified by Parameter 3 or
      Parameter 3 is 0 the session is terminated - in which case no other
      responses should be expected from the target for outstanding commands
      on this session and the initiator should terminate them
      appropriately.  A value of 0 for Parameter 2 indicates that reconnect
      can be attempted immediately.

      Initiators can attempt to set/modify the values a target will use for
      Parameter2 and Parameter3

      However - I am unclear if we should leave the initiator the degree of
      control implied by (innocuous looking) last statement.

      Thanks for helping make this text better.
