Dave,

 

You are correct: only Login Requests and Login Responses are allowed during the login phase.  Until FFP, any other PDU is protocol? error.  The use of Text PDUs were removed when we revised the login procedure as there were no benefits for using different PDUs (i.e. Text PDUs).

Subject: iSCSI Text Request

Before full feature phase is entered, is it valid for an initiator to send a

Text Request PDU for parameter negotiation purposes?   In other words,

are only Login Request PDUs and Login Response PDUs allowed during

the login phase?

 

I believe iSCSI draft 9 only permits Login Request/Response PDUs

during the login phase, but we've noticed that some initiators violate

this restriction.
