Re: iSCSI: Async events - SCSI and iSCSI

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

Mark,

As far as I recall it is not by chance. When we decided to go for a clear
separation of SCSI and iSCSI events
I saw no reason why a target will not want to send both, if it had them, in
one message.
Is there something I am missing? Obviously this runs against your later
request for text async messages.

Julian-

I was looking at Async Message some more, and noticed that there
is nothing to stop a target from sending a message that includes
both iSCSI and SCSI events, since each of these are communicated
with a different set of fields.  I would guess that this is not
what is intended, and that the target ought to send one or the other.

Can we add some text to say:

   A target may send this message as either a SCSI Event or an
   iSCSI Event, but not both.  Either the SCSI Event or iSCSI
   Event field MUST be zero.
