RE: iSCSI: ISIDs

["John Hufferd" <hufferd@us.ibm.com>]

David,
Your reply is not clear.  Please explain how the TSID would be formed in
the parallel session mode on the initiator (with a Wedge Driver in use)?
Then how would the session be cleaned up on reboot?

No, multiple sessions are still possible - they'd be distinguished by
different TSIDs.  If different portal groups are in use, that'd have
to be encoded in the TSID.
