I have a concern regarding a logout followed by login's with a different ISID from the same initiator
device.
Here is my concern:
-
the target must keep state information
for the initiator port after a logout (such as a reservation - but not
limited to that). This is because section F.2 says only an I_T Nexus Loss can effect
clearing actions on SCSI objects.
-
If a target receives a logout, then another login
from another initiator (or even another login from the same initiator device
but a different ISID) then it must have resources available because it can't
clear the SCSI objects from the logged out session.
-
The resources can become stale and the target could
run out of resources.
First, am I correct in the above? If not please explain.
If this is correct, I have not found anything in the spec
that says how long the SCSI objects must be kept around.
