iSCSI: task management response

["Mallikarjun C." <cbm@rose.hp.com>]

All:

The most recent task management text that Julian posted to
the list (sub: iSCSI - last change for 2001!) deals with
target reset authorization failure in an indirect way 
("Function complete" with a "Not Authorized qualifier).

I would favor one of two approaches in this order -
 a) "function authorization failure" response (i.e. doing away 
    with the qualifier field), or 
 b)"Function Rejected" response with a "Not authorized" qualifier

Julian would be okay with either of the above, but thinks 
that some O/Ses (Windows?) were not able to deal with anything 
other than a "Function complete" for a target reset.

My questions are -
	- can those O/S folks please speak up if this is still 
          the case?
	- a "Function complete" response stripped of its qualifer
          (for legacy O/S consumption) would be incorrect, since 
          the expected target reset semantics had not been met - 
          how is this dealt with?

If this is no longer an O/S issue now, I propose that we adopt (a) 
above.

Thanks.
