[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [iSCSI] Resolution of management commands and multiple head of queue commands.All, iSCSI version .7 is a significant improvement. Two areas that prompted a draft still seem unresolved. Section 8.1 mentions a potential problem without addressing at least a suggested means of handling these situations. There are management commands that can not resolve with connection allegiance alone. On another point, with no assurance or direct confirmation of Immediate Delivery Commands (IDC) and the potential for only a single command resource being allocated by the target, one must wonder how these commands are to be handled in practice. Preventing more than a single command to be sent as IDC would be one solution as there is assurance there will be resources for only a single command. If this were to be adopted as the method of handling these IDC commands, then such a flag could serve to allow an exception to the command window limit and avoid creating an overlaid command sequence count that then only serves to befuddle acknowledgement. If multiple IDC commands need to be sent, then either waiting for acknowledgement or sending these commands consecutively where acknowledgement would indicate quickly status of these commands without the initiator pondering their status at a point in time where speed of resolution is important.
