Re: SCSI Format/Copy CDB support

Amir,

The draft says in several places that CmdSN is not important after the task gets to SCSI.
On 2 yes you might be right but that is purely an implementation issue. Format commands do not time-out
at SCSI level and iSCSI has no cause to e "nervous" - nothing is expected.

I see a few problems in implementing the format/copy commands over iSCSI
 
1) CmdSN may wrap between command and response (assuming multiple LUNs)
 
2) iSCSI keepalive NOPs may be required to keep the connection open during format
