    iSCSI SCSI Port Name



    Julian,
    In reading 12-96, I came across two different definitions of a
    SCSI Port Name.
    In Section 1.1
    	SCSI Port Name: A name made up as UTF-8 characters and is the
    		iSCSI name + 'i' or 't' + ISID or Portal Group Tag
    In Section 2.4.2
    	SCSI Port Name is mandatory in iSCSI. WHen used in SCSI parameter data,
    	the SCSI port name MUST be encoded as:
    	- The iSCSI Name in UTF-8 format, followed by
    	- a comma separator (1 byte), followed by
    	- the ASCII character 'i' (<snip>) or the ASCII character 't' (<snip>), followed by
    	- a comma separator (1 byte), followed by
    	- zero to 3 null pad bytes <snip>, followed by
    	- the 6 byte value of the ISID or the 2 byte value of the Portal Group Tag
    
    I'm assumming the definition in Section 2.4.2 is the "correct definition", and the one
    in Section 1.1 needs to be changed to match this definition.
