Re: iSCSI: Extension Keys in Discovery Mode

Yes it means what it says.
We wanted to limit the number of keys
that can be used during discovery and to limit discovery to a minimum.
Many of us also felt that "discover"
in the management sense should be approached with a different mechanism
and
leverage commonality with other service
discovery mechanisms.

Subject	iSCSI: Extension Keys in Discovery Mode

I'm looking at spec 0.19, section 12.22, and it says "Vendor specific
keys
MUST ONLY be used in normal sessions."

1) Am I correct that it means that it is also illegal to pass vendor
specific keys during LOGIN if the session is going to be Discovery?
2) Does anybody know why this requirement is in the spec?

Thanks,
Russ Lewis
