[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: iSCSI: CmdSN in Login-retryJulian, Your patience (as well as everyone else's) is much appreciated. My misdirection (and perhaps others who follow us) was that the X bit in one message header means retry, and in the Login, it means Restart, just as 2.2.2.1 states. So, then 7.1 does not apply to Login. Perhaps I'm the only one that would ever start applying 7.1 to Login simply because it is the X bit in action. Sorry about the distraction.

I am not sure that we ever envisioned retrying a Login. (except completely restarting it). The only definite thing discussed was that a failed Login should leave no traces (no partial changes). In 08 we intend to make Login a SHOULD be immediate (the 0 in immediate was a typo - that I catched only when making it I). That is already expressed in the change material I've sent out (including text req/resp and login req/resp). There are no scheduled phone calls except for some ongoing work on security of which you are probably aware and updates of which appear on the list all the time.

BTW, I hope David's Pandora's box does stay closed for 1.0. Section 7.1 states that a Retry command MUST use the original CmdSN. This doesn't make sense for a Login Retry. Is there an exception here? If not, please briefly explain the logic of a Login Retry having the original CmdSN. How does this enter into the debate on whether Login and Login-Text messages should be sent Immediate? Has consensus been met on that yet? BTW, is there an occasional forum where several people meet to thrash out subtle details, or is this the only forum for questions, tiny and big? Obviously people can meet FTF or on the phone whenever they want, but is there a scheduled forum? Thanks, Stephen
