RE: Review of the 07 draft

["Dev" <deva@stargateip.com>]

Julian,

I suggest that,
"The iSCSI specific parameter change with text mode commands are initiator
specific and
MUST be performed following the SCSI rules as stated by [SAM2] and [SPC]."

Because, the iSCSI mode parameter changes are implemented per initiator,
there is no need to
raise unit attention for other initiators should the mode parameters change.
The above change
explicitly states that the mode changes are effected per initiator.

Jim, are you fine with this and address the concern you raise ?

Thanks

I've added a statement saying:

The iSCSI specific parameter change with text mode commands MUST be
performed following the SCSI rules as stated by [SAM2] and [SPC].

Yes it is necessary to return  unit attentions for Mode parameter changes
(changed through SCSI command).
it is within the domain of SCSI, not iSCSI . However a note on
implementation in the iSCSI spec that
discusses the mode parameters will be good.
