    iSCSI autosense and ACA



    Hi,
    I would appreciate if someone could clarify why ACA is
    needed if autosense is mandatory?
    Thanks,
    Dennis

    Section 3.3.3 and 7.2 of rev 06 are copied here for reference:
    
      3.3 iSCSI Port Mode Page 
        
         The following outlines the iSCSI Port mode page:
         ...
      3.3.2 Enable ACA (A) 
        
         When this field is set to 1 the target is mandated to enter ACA state 
         as specified.  When set to 0 the target shall not enter ACA state. 
         This field can also be set by a text-mode key=value pair (EnableACA).
    
      7.2 Autosense and Auto Contingent Allegiance (ACA) 
        
         Autosense refers to the automatic return of sense data to the 
         initiator in case a command did not complete successfully. iSCSI 
         mandates support for autosense. 
        
         ACA helps preserve ordered command execution in presence of errors. 
         As iSCSI can have many commands in-flight between initiator and 
         target iSCSI mandates support for ACA.
