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.

RE: [Ips] NOP during Discovery

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.
