Eddy,

Certainly correct and better than to force everybody to prduce the message.

I forgot about the language thing J.

 

I guess this is already acceptable since there is not anything in the draft that says one can't send text with a Login Response with Status-Class non-zero.

 

e.g. T->I Login Response, Status-Class=2, DataSegmentLength=30, DataSegment=X-CSG is incorrect

 

Would that be acceptable under the specification?

Eddy - nice thought - there are vendor keys for that - If you ask me to add them as part of the standard - I will do it in HEBREW Julo

It would be nice if we could send some error text in the Login Response when the Status-Class is non zero.

 

Since so many things fit into Initiator Error, that would allow anyone looking at an analyzer to see the actual reason.

 

The text would not be defined by the spec but would be defined only by the target and would not be interpreted by anything other than a person trying to diagnose the problem.
