RE: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-ips-scsi-mib-04.txt

["Amir Shalit" <amir@astutenetworks.com>]

I have two comments:

1) Read/Write counters

Counter32 (counting MB transferred) wrap at about 1000 hours on 10Gbps
links. 
Can we the MIB use a Counter64 instead?

2) Virtualization 

An attempt was made to list all LU's which are part of a LUN.
In my opinion, the ultimate mechanism to represent hierarchical volumes
is via a volume manager MIB. For the time being it will be useful to
associate a {start LBA, end LBA} vector with each LU to allow for most
simplistic virtualization mapping.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the IP Storage Working Group
of the IETF.

	Title		: Definition of Managed Objects for SCSI
Entities
	Author(s)	: M. Hallak-Stamler, M. Bakke et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ips-scsi-mib-04.txt
	Pages		: 73

This memo defines a Management Information Base (MIB) for Small 
Computer System Interface (SCSI) entities, independently of the 
interconnect subsystem layer.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail
readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
