RE: iSCSI: minor conflict introduced by C bit

["THALER,PAT (A-Roseville,ex1)" <pat_thaler@agilent.com>]

Julian,

 

I have noticed a minor conflict of the C bit with existing text.

 

11.4 and 11.9 require the target to return TargetName and TargetPortal group in the first Login Response PDU but the new text on the C bit in 4.2 requires the target to return an empty response if the C bit is set. Therefore, if the C bit is set on the first Login Request PDU, the target will have conflicting requirements on it.

 

One could resolve this by:

1) Specify that the C bit MUST NOT be set in the first Login Request PDU; or

2) Allow declarations to be sent in PDUs when the other side has the C bit set; or

3) Change the requirement in 11.4 and 11.9 to be the response to the first Login Request PDU with the C bit set to zero.

 

Regards,

Pat
