Re: iSCSI: response to second login (with same ISID)

[Santosh Rao <santoshr@cup.hp.com>]

Why would the target want to reject the login, unless it is not capable
of [or does not wish to] speak to multiple initiators ?

In the case of most targets, they should be capable of handling multiple
initiators and therefore, should accept the login.

If the target is incapable of supporting multiple initiators or does not
wish to allow multiple initiators (ex : iSCSI tape drive preventing
concurrent access), then, it can reject the login with a status
class/response of 0x0205. (Target Conflict).
