    RE: iSCSI Text Request



    A "protocol error" is only represented by a Reject and the login phase only
    allows Login PDU's (see 2.2.3). So, I use a Login Response with status =
    0200 (Initiator Error).
    
    There should probably be more status's defined. For example, Section 5.1
    (Login Phase Start) says:
     
            the target may reply with a Login Response indicating that it is 
            unwilling to accept the connection without SecurityNegotiation and 
            terminate the connection. 
             
    But the table in 3.13 (Login Response) does not give a status for explicitly
    that. So, I give 0201 (Authentication Failure).
    
    Comments?

    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).

    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.
