Results of Meeting


1.     Opening Remarks

John Lohmeyer, the T10 Chair, called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m.,
Thursday March 14, 2002. He thanked Paul Aloisi of Texas Instruments for
hosting the meeting.

John said that INCITS Subgroup Membership forms and the T10 Mailing
Subscription form were available from the head table. He said that people
should use the INCITS forms to insure the INCITS Secretariat has the latest
membership information. These forms should be mailed directly to the INCITS
Secretariat.

As is customary, the people attending introduced themselves and a copy of the
attendance list was circulated. Copies of the draft agenda and general
information on T10 were made available to those attending.

10.7     Obsolete Reserve/Release (02-108r0) [Peterson]

No agenda items were added/revised during the course of the meeting.


3.     Attendance and Membership

The membership requirements were reviewed. INCITS rules permit one vote per
organization. An individual from a new organization must attend at least one
T10 plenary meeting as an Advisory Member. He/she may apply for voting
membership at this meeting, which becomes effective following adjournment of
the meeting. Voting privileges begin upon receipt by the INCITS Secretariat of
applicable fees for the membership year.

To maintain membership, organizations must pay the INCITS Service Fee ($800).

John briefly discussed the mailing fees. Complete pricing information is
contained in the 2002 membership form (available at
ftp://ftp.t10.org/t10/mem_form.txt).

There are also minimum attendance requirements to maintain voting membership
on T10. If a member organization fails to attend two of the last three T10
meetings, they are warned that failing to attend the next T10 meeting would
result in their membership being terminated.

The Chair said he had sent letters to 10 people from 6 organizations informing
them that their membership was in jeopardy due to non-attendance (see
02-062r0) and that their membership would be terminated if they did not attend
this meeting. The following organizations were in attendance jeopardy:

Ancot Corp.
Congruent Software, Inc.
Exabyte Corp.
General Dynamics
Pirus Networks
Woven Electronics

All organizations in attendance jeopardy were present except:

Ancot Corp.
Woven Electronics

These organizations were changed to non-voting status.

No organizations joined the committee at this meeting.

The T10 membership during the meeting was 43 organizations down from 45
following the last meeting. Enclosure (1) is the list of the people present at
the meeting and enclosure (2) is the current T10 membership list.

John Lohmeyer reminded members that failure to vote on two out of the last
three letter ballots also would result in membership jeopardy and then
reported on the status of companies that have not voted on recent letter
ballots. John noted that no organization is in letter ballot jeopardy because
all organizations voted on the most recent letter ballot.


4.     Approval of Minutes - January 2002 Meeting - Houston, TX (T10/02-029r0)

The minutes were approved as written.


5.     Document Distribution

Members who have any problems with their mailing subscription should deal
directly with Monica Vago (mvago at itic.org) (202) 626-5741.

John Lohmeyer requested that all documents for the next mailing be in his
hands in electronic format by 10:30 a.m. on Thursday March 21, 2002. Documents
received after this time may go into a subsequent mailing.

John reminded the committee of the requirements for document submission. Since
T10 meets its document retention requirements by preparing mailings, documents
included in the mailing must be suitable for archiving. This means that
native-format and/or Portable Document Format (PDF) electronic originals with
proper identification must be submitted.

People can obtain T10 document numbers and revised T10 document numbers by
filling out a web form at http://www.t10.org/members/. The assigned T10
document number will be sent to the requestor by e-mail. The requestor may
then reply to this email, including the document to be posted as an
attachment. The document will be automatically posted on the T10 web site.

T10 members can complete this entire process using their personal T10
password. John explained that members who do not know their password should
surf to the above URL and click on the "forgot password" link to have their
password sent to them via e-mail.

John noted that non-members can also use the above document number process,
but their requests will require approval by an administrator.

Minutes are available on the T10 World Wide Web page (see below), and are
distributed to the T10 Reflector.

To be added to the T10 Reflector, send an e-mail to majordomo at t10.org with the
line 'subscribe t10' in the message body.

6.     Call for Patents

This is a regular agenda item to identify any potential patent issues with
developing standards and technical reports.

A document is available from ANSI, "Procedures for the Development and
Coordination of American National Standards", at no charge. This document is
also on the WWW at http://www.incits.org/help/ansi_sdo.html. Section 1.2.11
contains the ANSI patent policy. Amy Marasco manages patent issues for ANSI
and can be contacted at amarasco at ansi.org or 212-642-4954. Gene Milligan
prepared a useful "Handy dandy Technical Committee's Patents Guide", which is
available at ftp://ftp.t10.org/t10/document.99/99-291r0.pdf.

John presented a foil containing a summary of the ANSI patent policy prepared
by Gary Robinson. The summary is also included on the Rules and Procedures
(plus Patent Information) page on the T10 web site.

Cris Simpson reported that a statement of the Intel patent policy can be found
in T10/01-041r0.

John asked that anyone who knows of applicable patents contact him.

John Lohmeyer reported that Crossroads has sent a letter to T10 regarding U.S.
Patent No. 6,148,421 which Crossroads believes is applicable to the FC-Tape
error recovery portion of the FCP-2 standard. Bob Griswold stated that this
patent disclosure is a repeat of a previous disclosure with clarifications.

John Lohmeyer reported that 02-099 contains a patent disclosure related to the
ADI work.


7.     Review of Old Action Items

436    Gary Robinson will determine how ISO standards can reference ANSI
Technical Reports. Complete
454    John Lohmeyer will report to INCITS that T10 has found the ANSI
editor's changes in MMC-3 all to be non-substantive. Complete
455    John Lohmeyer will forward SPI-4 rev 9 to INCITS for processing toward
first public review. Complete
456    John Lohmeyer will inform INCITS of the T10 recommendation to close
project 1380-D due to lack of resources. Complete

9.5    Project proposal for ADI Physical Layer (ADP) (02-010) [Suhler]

John Lohmeyer said that INCITS had stopped allowing the use of the `old rules'
and now requires that all project proposals be approved under the `new rules'.
This means that our forwarding motions at the January meeting were not
accepted because the three ADI project proposals had not been included on the
January meeting agenda at least two weeks prior to the meeting. While this
delayed the approval of the project proposals, it should not delay the
projects.

Bob Griswold moved that 02-010r0 be forwarded to INCITS for processing as a
new project proposal for ADI Physical Layer, that 02-009r0 be forwarded to
INCITS for processing as a new project proposal for ADI Transport Protocol,
and that 02-008r0 be forwarded to INCITS for processing as a new project
proposal for ADI Commands. Paul Entzel seconded the motion. The motion passed
on a vote of 28:0:0:15=43.

The action item for John Lohmeyer to forward 02-010r0 to INCITS for processing
as a new project proposal for ADI Physical Layer was carried over from
January. The action item for John Lohmeyer to forward 02-009r0 to INCITS for
processing as a new project proposal for ADI Transport Protocol was carried
over from January. The action item for John Lohmeyer to forward 02-008r0 to
INCITS for processing as a new project proposal for ADI Commands was carried
over from January.

9.6    Project proposal for ADI Transport Protocol (ADT) (02-009) [Suhler]

10.2   Actions on Parallel SCSI Working Group Recommendations

10.2.1 SPI-5 Programmable Termination (01-270r2) [Aloisi]

George Penokie reviewed the contents of 01-270r2 (increasing the flexibility
of termination requirements), 02-039r0 (stating that the length of the
training pattern is based on time not number of pulses), 02-079r1 (adding
offset correction as a SPI-5 compensation technology), and 02-113r0 (a
preliminary timing budget).

Mark Evans moved that 01-270r2, 02-039r0, 02-079r1, and 02-113r0 be approved
for inclusion in SPI-5. Paul Aloisi seconded the motion. The motion passed on
a vote of 25:0:2:16=43.

10.2.2 Ultra640 SCSI Training Pattern Proposal (02-039r0) [Evans]

10.3   Actions on CAP Working Group Recommendations

10.3.1 SAM-2 Remove TAGGED OVERLAPPED TASKS additional sense code (02-067r0)
[Elliott]

George Penokie and Ralph Weber described the contents of SAM-2 proposals
02-067r0 (removing use of the TAGGED OVERLAPPED tasks additional sense code in
SAM-2), and 02-070r0 (clarifying that Execute Command output parameters are
invalid after a SCSI Protocol error).

Rob Elliott moved that 02-067r0 and 02-070r0 be approved for inclusion in
SAM-2. Bill Galloway seconded the motion. The motion passed on a vote of
30:0:1:12=43.

10.3.2 SAM-2 Execute Command output descriptions (02-070r0) [Elliott]

Action on this item was taken under item 10.3.1.

10.3.3 Logical Unit Unique Identifier/Type (02-035r2) [Peterson]

George Penokie and Ralph Weber described the contents of SPC-3 proposals
02-035r2 (adding a VPD Device Identifier based on a hash function for use by
bridges), 02-115r0 (correcting the location of the protocol identifier field
to match SPI-4), 02-075r1 (adding a software interface VPD page based on
EUI-48 values), 02-065r2 (correcting errors in the persistent reservations
definitions, some of which were added with the recent All Registrants
definitions), and 01-100r4 (defining a mechanism whereby one Register function
can register several initiator ports). George also noted that the CAP working
group had recommended assigning a device type code value to the ADI command
set (ADC).

Rob Elliott moved that the editor be instructed to assign a device type code
to ADC and that 02-035r2, 02-115r0, 02-075r1, 02-065r2, and 01-100r4 be
approved for inclusion in SPC-3. Bill Galloway seconded the motion. The motion
passed on a vote of 30:0:0:13=43.

10.3.4 SPC-3 table 230 incorrect (02-115r0) [Houlder]

Action on this item was taken under item 10.3.3.

10.3.5 EUI-48 protocol ID VPD page (02-075r1) [Johansson]

Action on this item was taken under item 10.3.3.

10.3.6 SPC-3 Persistent reservations corrections (02-065r2) [Elliott]

Action on this item was taken under item 10.3.3.

10.3.7 SPC-3 Letting persistent reservations ignore initiator ports (01-100r4)
[Elliott]

Action on this item was taken under item 10.3.3.

10.3.8 Assign a new device type code to the ADC command set [Griswold]

Action on this item was taken under item 10.3.3.

10.3.9 Limiting 3rd-party Reservations to a Single Protocol (02-056r2)
[Penokie]

George Penokie described 02-056r2 as addressing a problem that prevents
third-party Reserve/Release operation from working in a device with interfaces
to multiple SCSI protocols by eliminating the requirement that third party
reservations be supported. He also explained that the issue cannot be
addressed in SPC-3 because it is expected that Reserve/Release reservations
will be made obsolete in SPC-3.

George Penokie moved that 02-056r2 be approved for inclusion in the ISO FCD
for SPC-2. Mark Evans seconded the motion. The motion passed on a vote of
30:0:0:13=43.

Ralph Weber took an action item to send the IR a new FDIS for SPC-2 that
incorporates 02-056r2.

10.4   Actions on Other Working Group Recommendations

No recommendations from other working groups were brought before the
committee.

10.5   2002 Five-Year Maintenance Review of Standards (02-068) [Donovan]

All those who abstained stated that their reason for abstaining was that the
motion does not materially affect them. Ron Roberts stated that his reason for
voting no is that the industry is currently three levels beyond the contents
of MMC and that all the documents that might reference MMC reference new
standards. Ralph Weber stated that his reason for voting no was the belief
that the committee should follow the advice of the MMC-3 editor to withdraw
MMC.

Report for Generic Packetized Protocol (GPP) is not currently valid or useful.
George Penokie seconded the motion.

The committee discussed the history of GPP and how it became a technical
report. Concerns were raised that GPP might contain useful information. Such
claims were derided by others.

Several of those present failed to understand the question as posed by INCITS
in 02-068r0. Does the question seek to guide a withdrawal action? Is the
question advisory in some other way?

Peter Johansson moved to call the question. Bob Griswold seconded the motion
to call the question. The motion to call the question passed on a vote of
20:2:0:21=43.

The motion to advise INCITS passed on a vote of 14:5:13:11=43. Ron Roberts
stated that his no vote was based on the lack of knowledge regarding whether
GPP has been useful. Vit Novak stated that his no vote was because Ancot had
implemented GPP and proved that it worked and that GPP solved the tape backup
problem that Fibre Channel has been struggling with for years.

John Lohmeyer took an action item to inform INCITS that the sense of T10 is
that X3/TR-16:1997 Technical Report for Generic Packetized Protocol (GPP) is
not currently valid or useful.

10.6   Stabilizing SBP-3 FAST_START feature [Johansson]

Based on the successful implementation of SBP-3 FAST_START, Peter Johansson
moved on behalf of the SBP-3 working group that clauses 5.2.3 (Node
selectors), 6.4.6 (FAST_START register), 7.7.11 (Fast_Start entry), and 9.1.5
(Fetch agent state machine) in SBP-3 Revision 1f be marked "stabilized" in
future revisions of the draft. As the motion was made on behalf of a working
group, no second was necessary.

The motion passed on a vote of 25:0:5:13=43.

10.7   Obsolete Reserve/Release (02-108r0) [Peterson]

George Penokie reported that the CAP working group recommended making RESERVE
and RELEASE obsolete in SPC-3, however, the working group also recommended
placing the action on the May T10 agenda. So George's report was informative
and no action was taken.


11.    ISO/IEC

11.1   ISO/IEC Report [Robinson]

Gary Robinson provided and presented an ISO status report (02-105r0).

11.2   ISO/IEC Business [Robinson]

11.2.1 NWIP for SPI-4 (02-074) [Robinson]

Gary Robinson moved the following:

1.     T10 recommends that the JTC1 TAG approve and forward the NWIP
(T10/02-074r0) for SCSI Parallel Interface - 4 to JTC1 for further processing
as an international standard project. The proposed Project Editor is Gary S.
Robinson;
2.     T10 recommends that the JTC1 TAG approve and forward the NWIP
(T10/02-080r0) for SCSI Fibre Channel Protocol - 2 to JTC1 for further
processing as an international standard project. The proposed Project Editor
is Gary S. Robinson;
3.     T10 has reviewed the FDIS, SC25 14776-326 (RBC) and recommends that the
JTC1 TAG vote to approve FDIS, SC25 14776-326 (RBC), Reduced Block Commands;
4.     T10 has reviewed the FDIS, SC25 14776-331 (SSC) and recommends that the
JTC1 TAG vote to approve FDIS, SC25 14776-331 (SSC), SCSI Stream Commands.

Paul Aloisi seconded the motion.

The motion passed on a roll call vote of 32:1:0:10=43, details of the vote

12.    Liaison Reports

12.1   T11 Liaison Report [Forbes]

John Lohmeyer thanked Bob Snively for his service as T11 liaison and welcomed
the new liaison, Brian Forbes.

Brian Forbes presented the T11 liaison report contained in T10/02-107r0.

12.2   T13 Liaison Report [Colegrove]

Dan Colegrove presented the following electronic report from Pete McLean:

T13 Liaison Report - February 25, 2002

T13 met last in Placerville, CA on February 19 through 20 with 27 people
present. Membership is currently 21 voting organizations.

Maintenance is required on ATA -3, ANSI X3.298-1997, by June 18. Withdrawal of
the standard was discussed but a decision was postponed until the April
meeting to allow PCMCIA and CompacFlash to express any problem they may have
with this.

The ATA/ATAPI-6 draft standard, T13/1410D, has had public review. Comments
were received from three individuals. These comments were resolved and the
results forwarded to NCITS.

BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive Services, T13/1484D, has passed letter ballot and the
letter ballot comments resolved. The draft standard will be forwarded to NCITS
for public review.

Host Adapter Standard, T13/1510D, was reviewed. It is expected that this draft
standard may go to letter ballot in April.

The ATA/ATAPI-7, T13/1532D, is in development. Proposals for UDMA 133 and
Selective self-test were approved for inclusion.

T13 has received a letter from the Serial ATA consortium asking if T13 would
be interested in a project to make Serial ATA an ANSI standard. T13 has
responded that it would be very interested in doing so.

Seagate Technology will host the next plenary meeting April 23-25, 2002 at the
Raintree Plaza Hotel, 1900 Ken Pratt Boulevard, Longmont, CO 80501. The
meeting will start at 9 AM.

For further T13 information access ftp.t13.org or www.t13.org.

12.3   SFF Industry Group [Allan]

In the absence of Dal Allan, Bill Ham reported that SFF has approved a project
to do a 2.5 inch form factor with an SCA-2 connector, with parallel SCSI and
Fibre Channel connector types. Bill noted that the form factor will be hot
pluggable. The committee discussed other 2.5 inch form factor projects, not
all of which are being undertaken by SFF.

12.4   IEEE 1394 [Johansson]

Peter Johansson provided the following electronic report:

IEEE P1394b, High Performance Serial Bus---Amendment 2, has successfully
completed its recirculation ballot and is in preparation for submission to
IEEE RevCom for final approval as an IEEE standard. This amendment extends
Serial Bus to speeds in the range of 800 Mbps to 1600 Mbps and provides for
fiber-optic media. Contact the Chair, David Wooten (DW at Cypress.com) for
details.

IEEE P1394.1, High Performance Serial Bus Bridges, has completed its Sponsor
Ballot and, technically, meets IEEE criteria for approval. Because of
significant comments received, a BRC and eventual recirculation ballot are
anticipated this year. Contact the Chair, Peter Johansson (PJohansson at ACM.org)
for details.

IEEE P1394.3, Peer to Peer Data Transport, a protocol built upon SBP-2, also
completed its Sponsor Ballot. The BRC is close to the completion of its work
and anticipates approval of PPDT as a standard in 2002. Contact the Vice
Chair, Alan Berkema (Alan_Berkema at HP.com) for details.

The 1394 Trade Association Wireless working group is developing a "protocol
adaption layer" (PAL) to enable IEEE 1394 applications to interoperate with
like applications in IEEE P802.11e devices. Some of the work is active in the
IEEE P802.11e (quality of service) working group. Contact Steve.Bard at intel.com
for details.

12.5   SCSI Trade Association (STA) [Jones/Aloisi]

Paul Aloisi reported on the activities of STA and provided an electronic
report that can be found in 02-112r0.

12.6   IETF SCSI over IP [Black/Robinson]

In the absence of David Black, Randy Haagens reported that IPS working group
meet in interim meeting with T11 in Huntington Beach and will be again during
the general IETF week in Minneapolis, MN, March 19 and 20. Randy reported that
iSCSI is unlikely to go to last call (like letter ballot) immediately after
the Minneapolis meeting week.

Randy also noted that an iWARP Birds-Of-a-Feather meeting will be held during
the IETF week.

14.1     Authorization of Working Group Meetings

John noted that the working group meetings are required to operate under the
same voting procedures as does T10 (that is, one vote per organization) and
the results of a working group are not binding on the parent committee. Ad hoc
groups should strive to achieve consensus prior to bringing issues to T10.

Mark Evans moved that T10 authorize the T10-related meetings and events in the
list above that had not previously been approved through the end of June 2002.
Paul Aloisi seconded the motion. The motion passed on vote of 23:0:0:20=43.

14.2     SBP-3 Tentative Meeting Schedule

Peter Johansson provided the following tentative meeting schedule for the
SBP-3 working group:

May 29 - 30 (Portland, OR)
