My interpretation of the "update" part of the agenda was that SAM-4 was
an example (and that we should also include SAM-3 and SAM-5 as part of
the update list).  Therefore, to add SPC to the update list is (in my
opinion) within the scope for the SCSI Update portion of this project.

Yes, it should be included in the charter (either specifically, or by
making clear the broader interpretation of the "update").

There is no person advocating these ASC/Q codes.  These are ALREADY
APPROVED ASC/Q codes, and the person that caused them to become approved
is no longer part of T10, nor is that company a part of T10 at this
time, so it will be hard to find them and get them to do anything.

In my opinion, we should define their use, and let the e-mail reviews
make sure we get it right (or as good as we can).  Partly because,
contrary to the statement below, the causes of all unit attention
conditions are not "clearly defined".

I would suggest the following.

1. The person advocating these ASC/Q codes should propose a new work
   item for STORM to add this new feature.  It first needs to be added
   to the charter, then a new I-D needs to be generated to describe
   it.  It doesn't belong in the other work items because it's neither
   cleanup nor (as far as I can tell) SAM-4 support.

2. If #1 isn't done or the proposal doesn't receive WG consensus,
   STORM should generate a liaison request to T10 asking for these
   ASC/Q codes to be removed, or deprecated, or otherwise relabeled=20
   to make it clear that they are not defined by the iSCSI standard.

It seems to me that the more important question is how useful these unit 
attention codes are.  (For example, ATTO's Xtend San initiator doesn't 
make use of them.)  If initiators don't care about this information, 
precisely defining these unit attention codes (instead of depricating 
them) will be a change for the worse.

david

"No commands are affected."

The command which receives this response is NOT executed, and must be
reissued by the initiator.  True, no command other than the one that
receives this response is affected.

My guess from reading 05-406 is that the target is simply telling the
initiator that it is time to reissue a SendTargets (redo discovery).  My
guess is that all 3 ASC/Qs would be handled by the host in the same way
- something change (ala RSCN), so go find out what.  I can't tell from
the proposal why there needs to be 3 different reports
(add/remove/change); it seems that "change" is really all that might be
needed.  So, it's possible my guess about the original intent is missing
something.

Maybe this is obvious to the T10 folks in the audience, but . . . Since
these unit attentions use an ASC of 3F, they indicate a change to the
operating state of the device.  No commands are affected.  From the
concise wording of the 05-406 proposal, it's hard to be sure what the
author intended, but it sounds to me like the target is telling the
initiator about a change in the membership of the portal group.

Might be caused by a configuration change, possibly by hot-plugging
another network interface card into the target system.

I was assuming the person doing the advocating would be the appropriate
one to do the defining.  If that person isn't around but someone else
wants to do the defining, that is fine, too.

Part of what bothers me is that I can't fathom what these codes are
intended for, or what the scenarios are when they might be generated, or
what conclusion an initiator is supposed to draw when it sees one.

The names vaguely suggest that they have something to do with
asynchronous logout, but that is already fully covered in the iSCSI
spec.  Itdoesn't require any unit attentions in the first place,
certainly not any iSCSI specific ones.

I would rather see these things go away, unless there is a good argument
made that there is something missing in iSCSI that needs to be added,
and these codes are part of the solution.  The fact that T10 already
approved them isn't a reason to add them to iSCSI.

That's one of my concerns.

It seems we're just speculating what purpose these codes were intended
to serve.  Not only don't we know for sure what that purpose was, we
also don't know if that purpose is actually achieved.

The other concern is that these codes could be interpreted to impose a
new requirement on targets to generate them in certain situations.  Of
course we don't know what those situations are, or why targets should
do this, but clearly someone could argue that those numbers exist and
therefore are supposed to be generated.

Unless there is a solid proposal that assigns a clear meaning, and
that meaning is valuable to initiators, I believe that the only
correct answer is to consider what happened as a glitch in the
standards process and remove, to the extent possible, the debris left
behind by that glitch.

I don't see anything in the recent discussion that gets us to this
clear meaning and useful purpose.  In particular, I see absolutely NO
trace of "rough consensus and running code" to support the notion that
the iSCSI standard should support these new codes.

David, can we put in motion the deprecation of these codes?

I've tracked down the people involved in the original 2005 T10 proposal,
and I will try to get them involved (if I can't, I'll at least share
what I discover).

T10 will be reluctant to retire these values if they are in use.=20

As mentioned, the use we see for the "ADDRESS CHANGED" event is to cause
a new discovery process to be initiated (to go find any changes).

If retirement is in order, renaming the to-be-retired codes as
vendor-specific to protect their existing usage may suffice.

I believe the original proposer of these codes will be sending
a message to this list to explain what the codes were intended
for and why.

Thanks,

This is a re-send from a different email.... 

I am the guilty party associated with these sense codes.  I have been
traveling for the last few days or I would have chimed in sooner.  My
original proposal was not iSCSI specific.  It added three ASC/ASCQs which
were DEVICE PORT ADDRESS ADDED/CHANGED/REMOVED. The original names actually
explain the intent better (IMHO).

We produce an iSCSI target with many "Portal Groups" and "Network Portals".
Portal Groups come and go dynamically. Within a Portal Group, Network
Portals come, go, or change dynamically.  The intent is for the initiator to
be connected to all Network Portals, on all Portal Groups, all of the time.
This is usually accomplished with some combination of MCS in the initiator
and a MPIO (multipath) layer above the initiator.  The initiator is
perfectly willing to make all of these connections but there is no way
specified in any standard to accomplish this task.  There is a mix of layers
here that makes for a messy solution.  I am certainly open to a better one.

The SCSI layer could care less about Network Portals coming, going, or
changing but something has to kick the initiator to do a new discovery and
make the appropriate connections.  This would have been better handled at
the iSCSI layer but I could find nothing available.  In our implementation
the MPIO layer traps these UAs and kicks the initiator.

The SCSI layer does have a legitimate need to know about Portal Groups
coming and going.  These map to SAM target ports and the SCSI layer may need
to know. The initiator also needs to know so that it can make the new
connections.  In our implementation the MPIO layer also traps these UAs and
kicks the initiator.

Why three codes? No good reason.  My first proposal was more generic than
iSCSI and there was a hope that it would be useful to other protocols.  To
get the proposal passed, I agreed to change the names to be iSCSI specific.
In retrospect when I made the name change, I could have dropped it to one
code.  In our current implementation we treat all codes the same.

I hope this explains the rational for these ASC/ASCQs.  I am not aware of
anything in the iSCSI spec that accomplishes these goals. I am certainly
willing to explain further and to work with STORM to document this better
and/or come up with a better solution.

The first reaction to your note would be probably that you are right - 
SCSI is probably the wrong layer to make initiators aware of the existence 
of a new port.
On the other hand any transport than has no "permanent session" (in a 
generic sense) would have a hard time handling it.
And even worse - if the target is connected through different transport to 
the same or different initiators which one of the transports should carry 
it (think only about a FCP target that has an iSCSI backup - a not 
entirely imaginary scenario)?

And the ugly part about doing it with UA is that you kick in a recovery 
process that might be non-trivial.

The cleanest solution (for iSCSI) is to relegate the discovery (and 
change) to an out of band mechanism (as I have advocated for a long time). 
The drawback is that all the available out-of-band mechanisms are heavy 
and quite expensive (this is not to be considered a critique - it is just 
a statement of fact). Alternatively we could choose to handle the iSCSI 
case exclusively and use a version of one of our messages to convey the 
change. It will not handle all the cases (as the above FCP - iSCSI mix) 
but will perhaps solve Bill's problem.

Alternatively we might try and persuade T10 (SCSI) do adopt an "in-band" 
mechanism to prompt (re) discovery that should not carry the UA weight in 
most of the cases and then make the codes obsolete if the cease to be 
useful and/or extend them to other transports.

The last alternative is to mandate that configuration changes of this type 
can be made only outside a session - that will require us to use only a 
change bit from session to session (or login key) to indicate a change or 
unknown state since last discovery.

Kevin,

I suspect you will not see any ASC/Q codes going Obsolete
(or Vendor Specific) this time either.

My opinion is that the original assertion (i.e., that the
definition of an ASC/Q in SPC-x somehow obliges some standard
to define a usage for that value) will not pass muster with
the majority of the CAP working group.

I would not be surprised to find that more than 25% of the
currently defined ASC/Q values have no explicit mention in
any existing standard or working draft. I do not recall
Bill's proposal promising any such in-standard definition.
At the time Bill presented his request, the sense of CAP
favored defining ASC/Q values to provide useful information
(within reason, of course).

Clearly, CAP felt that Bill's request had merit. As of
yet, I have not heard (or read) sufficient justification
for reversing that action.

All the best,

.Ralph

Having seen no objection to (or even comment on) this on
the list:

the conclusion of the BOF is confirmed, and I will proceed
to put together an actual proposal to form a WG.  The
next steps will be to put the new storm@ietf.org mailing
list in place and produce an actual draft charter with
milestones.  The draft charter will take a little
while (week or two) to appear for comment, as I first want
to contact potential draft authors to ensure that the
milestone dates are somewhat plausible before putting
them into the draft charter.

Anyone interesting is being a WG co-chair (multiple co-chairs
are likely) should contact our responsible Area Director,
Lars Eggert [lars.eggert@nokia.com] (cc:'ing me would be
appreciated, but is not necessary), as appointment of WG
chairs is up to the Area Directors.

I will also make minor edits to the draft minutes and
submit them to the proceedings.

Thanks,
--David

The storm@ietf.org mailing list for the STORM (STORage
Maintenance) proposed WG has now been created.  To
join the list please visit:

https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/storm

The immediate reason for joining this list is that I
expect to sent out a draft STORM WG charter (with goals
and milestones) for discussion sometime next week.  While
the draft charter will be announced to all of these lists
(IPS, RDDP, IMSS, STORM), discussion of the proposed
charter will *only* be on the STORM list.

Also, for RDDP list subscribers only: This is the first
warning that the RDDP list is expected to be closed in
the next couple of months, as the STORM list is it's
replacement.

The IPS and IMSS mailing lists will remain open.

Thanks,
--David

The proposed WG charter for the Storm WG is attached.

The major changes from the charter discussed at the
storm BOF in San Francisco are:
- Deferred decision on whether to take iSCSI to Draft
	Standard RFC status; the WG gets to decide
	(i.e., it's not an up-front commitment to seed
	 Draft Standard RFC status).
- Added some text about maintaining good informal working
	relationships with T10 and T11; the formal IETF
	Liaison process is available as a last resort, but
	this is not the best way to get things done.
- There are a set of goals and milestones.

I have expressions of interest from draft authors for all
six of the work items listed on this draft charter.

If you have any concerns about this charter or want to
comment on it, please speak up ASAP, ... BUT ...

... the forum for discussion of this charter is the new
storm@ietf.org mailing list - if you're interested,
please join that list and make sure your comments go
there.  The list archives should be available on-line.

Thanks,
--David
