Re: iSCSI: Abort Task Set

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

John,

The meaning is SCSI initiator - i.e. SCSI initiator port.  That is defined 
as the  default meaning at the begining of the document.
T10 defines the command meaning.

        Subject:        iSCSI: Abort Task Set

 

Julian, and List,
The discription of the Abort Task Set Function in 3.5.1 says it:   "aborts 
all Tasks issued by this initiator on the Logical Unit."

The question is, what do we mean by initiator, in this case.  Do we mean 
iSCSI Initiator Node, or do we mean iSCSI (SCSI) Initiator Port.
Since we could have several different Session between the iSCSI Initiator 
Node and the SCSI Target Port, but only one between the SCSI Initiator 
Port and an SCSI Target Port.  So if we mean the latter, perhaps we should 
change the wordage to: "aborts all Tasks issued via this Session on the 
Logical Unit."
