[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: iSCSI: DLB's [T.6] 2.3 iSCSI Session TypesJulian, I stated in my e-mail that I do not want to reopen this issue at this stage. Leaving it the way it is in draft-14 is perfectly acceptable. Changing "MAY" to "MUST" with the text per David's last e-mail is also acceptable. -Ayman > -----Original Message----- > From: Julian Satran [mailto:Julian_Satran@il.ibm.com] > Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2002 10:37 PM > To: Ayman Ghanem > Cc: Black_David@emc.com; ips@ece.cmu.edu; owner-ips@ece.cmu.edu > Subject: RE: iSCSI: DLB's [T.6] 2.3 iSCSI Session Types > Importance: High > > > > This was subject to a long debate relate to SendTargets. > The issue was that SendTargets was (with resistance) accepted as a > "lightweight" discovery. > We did not want in any way to encourage long-lived discovery sessions as > there are other and better mechanisms > to do so (SLP, iSNS) and iSCSI should not have a completely embedded > discovery (going to IP storage > should enable you to leverage other protocols for management). > I will strongly oppose anything that encourages long lived discovery and I > think that using the last call to reopen > without any new argument an old and closed issue is an abuse of the > process. > > Julo > > > > > "Ayman Ghanem" > > <aghanem@cisco.co To: > <Black_David@emc.com>, <ips@ece.cmu.edu> > > m> cc: > > Sent by: Subject: RE: > iSCSI: DLB's [T.6] 2.3 iSCSI Session Types > > owner-ips@ece.cmu > > .edu > > > > > > 07/08/2002 06:53 > > PM > > Please respond to > > "Ayman Ghanem" > > > > > > > > > David, > > The issue that came up before was if a discovery session could be kept > open, > why not allow the initiator and target to send NOPs, and allow the target > to > send Async messages when new targets become available? > > I don't mean to bring up this issue again at this stage, but using "MAY" > leaves room for implementations that want to support this.
