[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: iSCSI: DLB's [T.6] 2.3 iSCSI Session TypesDavid, The original MAY was perfectly appropriate and so is the MUST. If you say that you have targets that MAY not support anything else than .. the an initiator attempting to use anything else would do it at its own risk. Your preference for MUST puts an additional mandatory burden to targets to CHECK (all targets) that nothing else is sent. It is strict where none of us thought that we have to be. From an initiator POW they are equivalent. For a target it requires more work. I would favor the way we where ... but that may be all age related. Julo
Ayman, Something needs to be cleaned up here, as the current text appears to allow all types of iSCSI PDUs on a discovery session. I didn't intend to restrict a discovery session to one Send Targets followed by a logout (i.e., it could be kept open with the initiator periodically sending a new Send Targets to see if anything has changed), but I did intend to forbid SCSI commands, task management, etc. on Discovery sessions. Is that reasonable, or are there additional types of iSCSI PDUs that you want to see allowed for new device notifications?
