All,
At the last FCP-4
working group meeting I presented a proposal to request the use of
continuously increasing SEQ_CNT (CISC) for Class 3 service.
While most believe
requiring continuously increasing SEQ_CNT for Class 3 service is a good idea,
one vendor indicated that none of their implementations support CISC, and
another vendor was concerned about the requirement.
As such, we have the
following options:
a. require CISC for
Class 3 service. This means that existing implementations can claim compliance
to a prior standard (e.g., FCP-3);
b. specify that CISC
should be used for Class 3 service;
c. no change (i.e.,
CISC is not required except for streamed Sequences).
My preference would
be option a.
What say
ye?
