Eddy,
I think that they realized that already
and are content. NOP is somewhat richer in that in a "storage router" NOP
might reach the end-point while SendTargets will probably not. In any
case the text is unequivocal about NOP.

Thanks
Would it work to just use
SendTargets=<nothing> instead of NOP? If there is a target for the
discovery session, it would respond with just the target name. If there are no
targets for the discovery session, the target would still respond but with 0
for the DataSegmentLength.
If so, can you talk that person into
that?

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.

| [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.
