Re: iSCSI: TargetAddress format

[Mark Bakke <mbakke@cisco.com>]

Julian-

I just went through the IPv6 stuff again, and found a few things
that we should update, since the address:tcpport format is no
longer defined in the naming section:


11.8 TargetAddress:


After:

TargetAddress=domainname[:port][,portal-group-tag]

Add:

The domainname can be specified as either a DNS host name, a
dotted-decimal IPv4 address, or a bracketed IPv6 address as
specified in [RFC2732].

Replace:

The TargetAddress key is further described in Appendix D. - SendTargets Operation -.

With:

Use of the portal-group-tag is described in Appendix D. - SendTargets Operation -.



Appendix D. SendTargets Operation:

Replace:

The hostname-or-ipaddress and tcp port are as specified in the Sec-
tion 2.2.6 iSCSI Names.

With:

The hostname-or-ipaddress contains a domain name, IPv4 address, or
IPv6 address, as specified for the TargetAddress key.


Hopefully that will clear it up.
