It is understood this is already supported in a multi step way within the current iSCSI specification. If a target returns an initiator a list of 100 targets via a SendTargets=All and the initiator turns around and logs in and out of each target to just get the TargetAlias this leads to poor performance. The suggested change cuts this process to one step when possible and directly improves management performance. _______________________________________________ Ips mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ips
