RE: iSCSI: LUN in a ping

["Rod Harrison" <rod.harrison@windriver.com>]

The initiator might try to rediscover the LUN topology if it sees a NOP from a
LUN that it previously thought was not present.

Yes, I remember that but the necessity for the target to set it should be up
to the target because the initiator should not be trying to interpret it (it
should only be required to echo it).

Is there a case where the initiator will interpret the LUN?

TTT & LUN uniquely identify the "origin" (if target is a "composite"
each of the parts can issue their own TTTs - no coordination needed).

Does anyone know why we added "the LUN must be valid" for a target
initiated ping? It would seem that it is N/A when the ping is just being
used to checkup on the connection.

What will the initiator do with the LUN anyway?

10.19.3 LUN
A LUN MUST be set to a correct value when the Target Transfer Tag is
valid (not the reserved value 0xffffffff).
