    iSCSI: editorial corrections to Appendix D:SendTargets



    Julian,
    I think there's a sentence in appendix D that needs to be cleaned up from
    previous edits.
    
    "A SendTargets response MUST NOT contain iSCSI default target names." (it's
    on page 246 of the .pdf) This should be deleted since there are no longer
    any "iSCSI default target names" (or at least they are not defined).
    
    Also, to clarify, I think the paragraph 3 should be modified from:
    
         A system that contains targets MUST support discovery sessions on each 
         of its IP addresses, and MUST support the SendTargets command on the 
         discovery session.  A target MUST support the SendTargets command on 
         operational sessions; these will only return address information 
         about the target to which the session is connected, and do not return 
         information about other targets.
    
    to the following:
    
         A system that contains targets MUST support discovery sessions on each 
         of its TCP addresses, and MUST support the SendTargets command on the 
         discovery session.  A target MUST return all path information (TCP 
         addresses and portal group tags) for the target in question for
         which the requesting initiator is authorized.
    
         A target MUST support the SendTargets command on operational sessions;
         these will only return path information about the target to which 
         the session is connected, and need not return information about other 
         target names that may be defined in the responding device.
    
    This is just an explicit statement of what's implicit in the current
    appendix.  I corrected "IP address" to "TCP address" cause it's the TCP
    listening port that must provide the discovery session.
    
    Also, on page 234, the paragraph:
    
         After obtaining a list of targets from the discovery target session, 
         an iSCSI initiator may initiate new sessions to log in to the discov-
         ered targets for full operation.  The initiator MAY keep the session 
         to a default target open, and MAY send subsequently SendTargets com-
         mands to discover new targets.
    
    Should be changed to 
    
         After obtaining a list of targets from the discovery target session, 
         an iSCSI initiator may initiate new sessions to log in to the discov-
         ered targets for full operation.  The initiator MAY keep the discovery
         session open, and MAY send subsequently SendTargets commands to
    discover
         new targets.
    
    On page 235, the paragraphs:
    
         In the above example, a DNS host name could have been returned instead 
         of an IP address, and that an IPv6 addresses (5 to 16 dotted-decimal 
         numbers) could have also been returned.
    
         The next text response shows a target that supports spanning sessions 
         across multiple addresses, which indicates the use of the portal group 
         tags:
    
    Should be
    
         In the above example, a DNS host name or an IPv6 address (5 to 16
         dotted-decimal numbers) could have been returned instead 
         of an IPv4 address.
    
         The next text response shows a target that supports spanning sessions 
         across multiple addresses, and illustrates further the use of the
    portal
         group tags:
    
    Thanks,
