RE: iSCSI: Inquiry, Mode Sense, Read Capacity

["Lee Xing" <lxing@Crossroads.com>]

David,

Thanks for the info.  It helps.  
Please see my new question below.

See previous answer.  Data-in transfers data for any SCSI command
that has data to transfer.  This includes all three of your examples.
"READ" actually includes any SCSI command that transfers "data" (as
that term is defined by SCSI) from Target to Initiator.  This includes
INQUIRY, MODE SENSE, and READ CAPACITY.



New Question:

on page 23 of v.08, it says "For performance reasons, iSCSI allows 
a "phase-collapse".  A command and its associated data may be 
shipped together from initiator to target and data and responses 
may be shipped together from targets."

The question is if "Data-in transfers data for any SCSI command 
that has data to transfer" (see the answer to Q2) is a true 
statement, should we clear the above sentence (on page 23 of v.08) 
a bit?

Thanks.
