Re: [Ips] NOP during Discovery

["Julian Satran" <Julian_Satran@il.ibm.com>]

It is not allowed in discovery - There
was a long discussion with one party insisting on having NOP as a way of
keeping the discovery session alive.
Discovery being only a lightweight location
mechanism it was decided that it is  not worth having it as a permanent
alternative for a management interface.

Subject	[Ips] NOP during Discovery

I have found that at least one initiator
is doing a NOP-out during discovery phase. But the spec says that isn't
allowed. Am I misunderstanding something?

 

3.3 iSCSI Session Types

  iSCSI defines two types of sessions:

  a) Normal operational session - an unrestricted session.

  b) Discovery-session - a session only opened for target

     discovery. The target MUST ONLY accept text requests with the

     SendTargets key and a logout request with reason "close the

     session". All other requests MUST be rejected.

     The session type is defined during login with key=value parameter in

     the login command.
