RE: [Ips] Re: iscsi RDMA standard

[Black_David@emc.com]

I just want to make it clear that while iSER has been
submitted as internet drafts, no decision has been made on
whether to work on standardization in the IETF.  Anyone
can submit an Internet-Draft to the IETF on almost any
relevant topic, and these drafts currently have that
"individual submission" status.

Thanks,
--David (IPS WG co-chair)

The consortium has finished the work Julian mentioned. The results of the
work have been submitted as internet drafts:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ko-iwarp-iser-00.txt

and

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-chadalapaka-iwarp-da-00.txt

The first is the spec for iSCSI over iSER and the second is the architecture
document.

There is an extension to iSCSI called ISER - being worked on by a consortium
of companies. Julo

Subject: RE: [Ips] NOP during Discovery


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.

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.
