Old Business__________________________________
1. IBM050
BobS: Reservations are a poor tech for networked devices, why not obsolete?
CrisS: Anyone want to speak up for classic reservations?
DaveP: Time better spent on PRs...
RogerC: Let's obsolete for NEW stds, let legacy keep.
RobH: We don't have any problems with obsoleting classic reservations.
RobE: What about Mode Pages, Log Pages?
GOP: You should save them anyway.
Keep MPs and LPs separate from intconn.
(FC clears when last init logs out.)
<AR> DaveP - Proposal for obsoleting classic reservations
Mode pages
FCP clears MPs only when all sessions drop
GOP - don't even do it then
RobH:
When we re-login, we assume that no state is valid, reset everything -
easier than looking.
GOP: Reasonable implementation - but std shouldn't require
RobE: Let's expand to Log Pages. LPs cleared on (some) resets.
Does FC Logout clear LPs?
RogerC: No
RobE: There are other events that FC says cause clearing
Will send out list (Sent March 1)
RandyH: The real issue is the lifetime of an I_T(_L) nexus.
BobS: I've got SCSI-2 chapter and verse (r10L 3.1.28) defining duration of
nexuses
ROW: Only meaningful for pSCSI
BobS: See also SAM-2 (r22 4.10, 3.1.68) crossref I_T nexus object
only instantiated (derived) in the MIB
RESOLVED: Classic reservations to be obsoleted.
DaveP will get on CAP agenda
MPs and LPs to wait for CAP.
BobS: New concept: "SAN domain"
Randy: Brings time into scope - if you can't talk to a device,
why keep the state? Sometimes, tossing state is a good thing to
do.
EdG: Maybe we should prohibit mode pages per intiator
RandyH: Can support MPs/init through virtual targets
RobE: Port Control MP is per-init
RandyH: In networked world, targets should discard state at every
opportunity.
New Business___________________________________
1. CPQ015 : MSB/LSB for Tag
Ed: What harm is there in having MSB/LSB?
GOP: For consistency, we need it, like other single-field values.
Ed: Need it for analyzers. (Argument carries - keep it)
2. Edit005 :
SPC-3 says "These [alias] associations shall be cleared under any event
that resets the logical unit and events designated by the SCSI protocol."
It appears that we need to have a list or a statement that there are no
such events. Where would it go, what would it say?
(RobE will include in list of issues for resolution at CAP)
3. intel041: may/shall send I_LOGOUT
Change to "SHOULD send"
4. intel042: should/shall send T_LOGOUT
Stay w/ SHOULD.
5. intel044: LOGIN_REJ reason code
Add new code:"RDMA Channel limit reached for this initiator see (5.1.3)"
6. intel084: replace 'count' with 'PMDL Length'
Ed liked it that way first, but wants keep it stable.
See if cleaner.
7. intel094: optional IUs?
All are Mandatory.
8. intel096: T_LOGOUT reason code for bad length?
Add new code
