    RE: iSCSI question




    Session recovery is in fact leaving all recovery to SCSI - it drops everything and creates a new session.
    As for you comment on the clarity of chapter 5 at this stage it makes sense to be either specific
    or keep this type of comment out of this context.

    Julian,
     
    Thanks. I have read that section but it is not very clear.
     
    I also agree that Connection recovery requires everything in command recovery.
    But what about session recovery? isn't it a superset of both connection and command recovery?
     
    Yours,
    -Shahram

    Sharam,


    You may want to go over the recovery chapter.

    It has detailed answers to all your questions.

    The superset/subset is based on functions you need for the next level.


    Session recovery drops real recovery to SCSI.

    Command recovery recovers from individual command errors without
    changing connection and the highest enable you to switch to a new connection and

    continue commands there.


    2 requires everything in 1.

    Hi,

    I have a question regarding the hierarchy of error recovery.
    Section 6.13 mentions the hierarchy as:

    2: Connection recovery
    1: Digest failure recovery
    0: Session recovery

    And it states that the higher levels are a superset of the
    lower levels and that the level of complexity increases from 0->1->2.

    Couple of questions:

    1) How is digest failure recovery done? by retransmission of PDUs?
    2) Why is the connection recovery a superset of session recovery
    and more complex?
    3) It seems to me the order should be:

    2: Session recovery
    1: Connection recovery
    0: Digest failure recovery


    I appreciate any insight.

    Thanks,
    -Shahram
