RE: iSCSI protocol - use of SendTargets

Hi Parav,
 
Before any author shamelessly plugs their iSCSI publications, I suggest
you have a quick re-read of RFC3720. 
 
In particular, section 3.4 pages 37-40 cover some really important
concepts that I think will help your understanding. Then jump to the
start of section 3, page 17 for more concepts and definitions.
 
The specifics of the SendTargets command are in Appendix D.

Subject: [Ips] iSCSI protocol - use of SendTargets


Hi,

I am new to iSCSI protocol and gearing up.
Is this the right mailing list to ask questions related to  iSCSI
protocol?

if yes,

1.  iSCSI target is identified by the network portal (IP + port).
So once the iSCSI target is identified by the network portal and Login
to it is successful, why do we need to ask for SendTargets command?
TargetName and TargetAddress returned are immaterial (because we already
know the target address to which we have logged-in), unless there are
multiple addresses for them and failover is required used.
Or it is used for communicating different TCP port on which initiators
can send TUR, Inquiry, Read, Write commands?

What is the expected information from the target in response to
SendTargets command?

Regards,
Parav Pandit
