Re: SAS and iSCSI

Julian and David,

Thanks for the reply and update, I guess the second part never made it to
the reflector.

Will the additional opcodes and command descriptor blocks that
are definied in SAS be transferred using additional header segements by
the iSCSI transport?

This assumes there will be new opcodes as SAS is very much ontrack to be
an API for array management.  Specifically where many of the current
management applications of heavily mated to SCSI and SAS is a means to
grant them extended life, whereas the hardware is dying.  So in order to
acommidate such dependencies, the concern is to insure that iSCSI will be
adaptable to address their over short comings to be so tightly tied to a
transport layer and semi dependent of physical layers.
