Appendix C. Login Phase Examples

In the first example, the initiator and target authenticate each other via Kerberos: I-> Login (CSG,NSG=0,1 T=1) InitiatorName=iqn.1999-07.com.os:hostid.77 TargetName=iqn.1999-07.com.example:diskarray.sn.88 AuthMethod=KRB5,SRP,None T-> Login (CSG,NSG=0,0 T=0) AuthMethod=KRB5 I-> Login (CSG,NSG=0,1 T=1) KRB_AP_REQ=<krb_ap_req> (krb_ap_req contains the Kerberos V5 ticket and authenticator with MUTUAL-REQUIRED set in the ap-options field) If the authentication is successful, the target proceeds with: T-> Login (CSG,NSG=0,1 T=1) KRB_AP_REP=<krb_ap_rep> (krb_ap_rep is the Kerberos V5 mutual authentication reply) If the authentication is successful, the initiator may proceed with: I-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,0 T=0) FirstBurstLength=8192 T-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,0 T=0) FirstBurstLength=4096 MaxBurstLength=8192 I-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,0 T=0) MaxBurstLength=8192 ... more iSCSI Operational Parameters T-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,0 T=0) ... more iSCSI Operational Parameters And at the end: I-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,3 T=1) optional iSCSI parameters T-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,3 T=1) "login accept"
ToP   noToC   RFC3720 - Page 220
     If the initiator's authentication by the target is not
          successful, the target responds with:

     T-> Login "login reject"

     instead of the Login KRB_AP_REP message, and terminates the
        connection.

     If the target's authentication by the initiator is not
       successful, the initiator terminates the connection (without
       responding to the Login KRB_AP_REP message).

   In the next example only the initiator is authenticated by the
   target via Kerberos:

     I-> Login (CSG,NSG=0,1 T=1)
        InitiatorName=iqn.1999-07.com.os:hostid.77
        TargetName=iqn.1999-07.com.example:diskarray.sn.88
        AuthMethod=SRP,KRB5,None

     T-> Login-PR (CSG,NSG=0,0 T=0)
        AuthMethod=KRB5

     I-> Login (CSG,NSG=0,1 T=1)
         KRB_AP_REQ=krb_ap_req

     (MUTUAL-REQUIRED not set in the ap-options field of krb_ap_req)

     If the authentication is successful, the target proceeds with:

     T-> Login (CSG,NSG=0,1 T=1)

     I-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,0 T=0)
         ... iSCSI parameters

     T-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,0 T=0)
         ... iSCSI parameters

     . . .

     T-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,3 T=1)"login accept"
ToP   noToC   RFC3720 - Page 221
   In the next example, the initiator and target authenticate each
   other via SPKM1:

     I-> Login (CSG,NSG=0,1 T=1)
         InitiatorName=iqn.1999-07.com.os:hostid.77
         TargetName=iqn.1999-07.com.example:diskarray.sn.88
         AuthMethod=SPKM1,KRB5,None

     T-> Login (CSG,NSG=0,0 T=0)
         AuthMethod=SPKM1

     I-> Login (CSG,NSG=0,0 T=0)
         SPKM_REQ=<spkm-req>

     (spkm-req is the SPKM-REQ token with the mutual-state bit in the
       options field of the REQ-TOKEN set)

     T-> Login (CSG,NSG=0,0 T=0)
         SPKM_REP_TI=<spkm-rep-ti>

     If the authentication is successful, the initiator proceeds:

     I-> Login (CSG,NSG=0,1 T=1)
         SPKM_REP_IT=<spkm-rep-it>

     If the authentication is successful, the target proceeds with:

     T-> Login (CSG,NSG=0,1 T=1)

     The initiator may proceed:

     I-> Login  (CSG,NSG=1,0 T=0) ... iSCSI parameters
     T-> Login  (CSG,NSG=1,0 T=0) ... iSCSI parameters

     And at the end:

     I-> Login  (CSG,NSG=1,3 T=1)
         optional iSCSI parameters

     T-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,3 T=1) "login accept"


     If the target's authentication by the initiator is not
          successful, the initiator terminates the connection (without
          responding to the Login SPKM_REP_TI message).
ToP   noToC   RFC3720 - Page 222
     If the initiator's authentication by the target is not
          successful, the target responds with:

     T-> Login "login reject"

     instead of the Login "proceed and change stage" message, and
          terminates the connection.


   In the next example, the initiator and target authenticate each
   other via SPKM2:

     I-> Login (CSG,NSG=0,0 T=0)
         InitiatorName=iqn.1999-07.com.os:hostid.77
         TargetName=iqn.1999-07.com.example:diskarray.sn.88
               AuthMethod=SPKM1,SPKM2

     T-> Login-PR (CSG,NSG=0,0 T=0)
         AuthMethod=SPKM2

     I-> Login (CSG,NSG=0,1 T=1)
         SPKM_REQ=<spkm-req>

     (spkm-req is the SPKM-REQ token with the mutual-state bit in the
          options field of the REQ-TOKEN not set)

     If the authentication is successful, the target proceeds with:

     T-> Login (CSG,NSG=0,1 T=1)

     The initiator may proceed:

     I-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,0 T=0)
         ... iSCSI parameters

     T-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,0 T=0)
         ... iSCSI parameters

     And at the end:

     I-> Login  (CSG,NSG=1,3 T=1)
         optional iSCSI parameters

     T-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,3 T=1) "login accept"
ToP   noToC   RFC3720 - Page 223
   In the next example, the initiator and target authenticate each
   other via SRP:

     I-> Login (CSG,NSG=0,1 T=1)
         InitiatorName=iqn.1999-07.com.os:hostid.77

     If the initiator authentication is successful, the target
       proceeds:

     T-> Login (CSG,NSG=0,1 T=1)
         SRP_HM=<H(A | M | K)>

      Where N, g, s, A, B, M, and H(A | M | K) are defined in [RFC2945].

     If the target authentication is not successful, the initiator
          terminates the connection; otherwise, it proceeds.

     I-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,0 T=0)
         ... iSCSI parameters

     T-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,0 T=0)

     T-> Login  (CSG,NSG=1,3 T=1) "login accept"

     If the initiator authentication is not successful, the target
          responds with:

     T-> Login "login reject"

     Instead of the T-> Login SRP_HM=<H(A | M | K)>  message and
          terminates the connection.

   In the next example, the initiator and target authenticate each
   other via SRP:

     T-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,3 T=1) "login accept"

   In the next example the initiator and target authenticate each other
   via CHAP:

         CHAP_I=<I>
         CHAP_C=<C>
ToP   noToC   RFC3720 - Page 226
     If the initiator authentication is successful, the target
       proceeds:

     T-> Login (CSG,NSG=0,1 T=1)
         CHAP_N=<N>
         CHAP_R=<R>

     If the target authentication is not successful, the initiator
       aborts the connection; otherwise, it proceeds.

     I-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,0 T=0)
         ... iSCSI parameters
     T-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,0 T=0)
         ... iSCSI parameters

     And at the end:

     I-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,3 T=1)
         optional iSCSI parameters

     T-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,3 T=1) "login accept"

     If the initiator authentication is not successful, the target
       responds with:

     T-> Login "login reject"

     Instead of the Login CHAP_R=<response> "proceed and change
       stage" message and terminates the connection.

   In the next example, only the initiator is authenticated by the
   target via CHAP:

     I-> Login (CSG,NSG=0,1 T=0)
         InitiatorName=iqn.1999-07.com.os:hostid.77

     I-> Login (CSG,NSG=0,1 T=1)
         CHAP_N=<N>
         CHAP_R=<R>

     If the initiator authentication is successful, the target
       proceeds:

     T-> Login (CSG,NSG=0,1 T=1)

     I-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,0 T=0)

     I-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,3 T=1)
         optional iSCSI parameters

     T-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,3 T=1) "login accept"

   In the next example, the initiator does not offer any security
   parameters. It therefore may offer iSCSI parameters on the Login PDU
   with the T bit set to 1, and the target may respond with a final
   Login Response PDU immediately:

     I-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,3 T=1)
         InitiatorName=iqn.1999-07.com.os:hostid.77
         TargetName=iqn.1999-07.com.example:diskarray.sn.88
         ... iSCSI parameters

     T-> Login (CSG,NSG=1,3 T=1) "login accept"
         ... ISCSI parameters

     In the next example, the initiator does offer security
       parameters on the Login PDU, but the target does not choose
       any (i.e., chooses the "None" values):

     I-> Login (CSG,NSG=0,1 T=1)
         InitiatorName=iqn.1999-07.com.os:hostid.77

Appendix D. SendTargets Operation

To reduce the amount of configuration required on an initiator, iSCSI provides the SendTargets text request. The initiator uses the SendTargets request to get a list of targets to which it may have access, as well as the list of addresses (IP address and TCP port) on which these targets may be accessed. To make use of SendTargets, an initiator must first establish one of two types of sessions. If the initiator establishes the session using the key "SessionType=Discovery", the session is a discovery session, and a target name does not need to be specified. Otherwise, the session is a normal, operational session. The SendTargets command MUST only be sent during the Full Feature Phase of a normal or discovery session. A system that contains targets MUST support discovery sessions on each of its iSCSI IP address-port pairs, and MUST support the SendTargets command on the discovery session. In a discovery session, a target MUST return all path information (target name and IP address-port pairs and portal group tags) for the targets on the target network entity which the requesting initiator is authorized to access. A target MUST support the SendTargets command on operational sessions; these will only return path information about the target to which the session is connected, and do not need to return information about other target names that may be defined in the responding system. An initiator MAY make use of the SendTargets as it sees fit. A SendTargets command consists of a single Text request PDU. This PDU contains exactly one text key and value. The text key MUST be SendTargets. The expected response depends upon the value, as well as whether the session is a discovery or operational session. The value must be one of: All The initiator is requesting that information on all relevant targets known to the implementation be returned. This value MUST be supported on a discovery session, and MUST NOT be supported on an operational session.
ToP   noToC   RFC3720 - Page 230
     <iSCSI-target-name>

     If an iSCSI target name is specified, the session should respond
      with addresses for only the named target, if possible.  This
      value MUST be supported on discovery sessions.  A discovery
      session MUST be capable of returning addresses for those
      targets that would have been returned had value=All had been
      designated.

     <nothing>

     The session should only respond with addresses for the target to
       which the session is logged in.  This MUST be supported on
       operational sessions, and MUST NOT return targets other than
       the one to which the session is logged in.

   The response to this command is a text response that contains a list
   of zero or more targets and, optionally, their addresses.  Each
   target is returned as a target record.  A target record begins with
   the TargetName text key, followed by a list of TargetAddress text
   keys, and bounded by the end of the text response or the next
   TargetName key, which begins a new record.  No text keys other than
   TargetName and TargetAddress are permitted within a SendTargets
   response.

   For the format of the TargetName, see Section 12.4 TargetName.

   In a discovery session, a target MAY respond to a SendTargets request
   with its complete list of targets, or with a list of targets that is
   based on the name of the initiator logged in to the session.

   A SendTargets response MUST NOT contain target names if there are no
   targets for the requesting initiator to access.

   Each target record returned includes zero or more TargetAddress
   fields.

   Each target record starts with one text key of the form:

     TargetName=<target-name-goes-here>

   Followed by zero or more address keys of the form:

     TargetAddress=<hostname-or-ipaddress>[:<tcp-port>],
       <portal-group-tag>

   The hostname-or-ipaddress contains a domain name, IPv4 address, or
   IPv6 address, as specified for the TargetAddress key.
ToP   noToC   RFC3720 - Page 231
   A hostname-or-ipaddress duplicated in TargetAddress responses for a
   given node (the port is absent or equal) would probably indicate that
   multiple address families are in use at once (IPV6 and IPV4).

   Each TargetAddress belongs to a portal group, identified by its
   numeric portal group tag (as in Section 12.9 TargetPortalGroupTag).
   The iSCSI target name, together with this tag, constitutes the SCSI
   port identifier; the tag only needs to be unique within a given
   target's name list of addresses.

   Multiple-connection sessions can span iSCSI addresses that belong to
   the same portal group.

   Multiple-connection sessions cannot span iSCSI addresses that belong
   to different portal groups.

   If a SendTargets response reports an iSCSI address for a target, it
   SHOULD also report all other addresses in its portal group in the
   same response.

   A SendTargets text response can be longer than a single Text Response
   PDU, and makes use of the long text responses as specified.

   After obtaining a list of targets from the discovery target session,
   an iSCSI initiator may initiate new sessions to log in to the
   discovered targets for full operation.  The initiator MAY keep the
   discovery session open, and MAY send subsequent SendTargets commands
   to discover new targets.

   Examples:

   This example is the SendTargets response from a single target that
   has no other interface ports.

   Initiator sends text request that contains:

         SendTargets=All

   Target sends a text response that contains:

         TargetName=iqn.1993-11.com.example:diskarray.sn.8675309

   All the target had to return in the simple case was the target name.
   It is assumed by the initiator that the IP address and TCP port for
   this target are the same as used on the current connection to the
   default iSCSI target.
ToP   noToC   RFC3720 - Page 232
   The next example has two internal iSCSI targets, each accessible via
   two different ports with different IP addresses.  The following is
   the text response:

      TargetName=iqn.1993-11.com.example:diskarray.sn.8675309
      TargetAddress=10.1.0.45:3000,1 TargetAddress=10.1.1.45:3000,2
      TargetName=iqn.1993-11.com.example:diskarray.sn.1234567
      TargetAddress=10.1.0.45:3000,1 TargetAddress=10.1.1.45:3000,2

   Both targets share both addresses; the multiple addresses are likely
   used to provide multi-path support.  The initiator may connect to
   either target name on either address.  Each of the addresses has its
   own portal group tag; they do not support spanning
   multiple-connection sessions with each other.  Keep in mind that the
   portal group tags for the two named targets are independent of one
   another; portal group "1" on the first target is not necessarily the
   same as portal group "1" on the second target.

   In the above example, a DNS host name or an IPv6 address could have
   been returned instead of an IPv4 address.

   The next text response shows a target that supports spanning sessions
   across multiple addresses, and further illustrates the use of the
   portal group tags:

       TargetName=iqn.1993-11.com.example:diskarray.sn.8675309

      TargetAddress=10.1.0.45:3000,1 TargetAddress=10.1.1.46:3000,1
      TargetAddress=10.1.0.47:3000,2 TargetAddress=10.1.1.48:3000,2
      TargetAddress=10.1.1.49:3000,3

   In this example, any of the target addresses can be used to reach the
   same target.  A single-connection session can be established to any
   of these TCP addresses.  A multiple-connection session could span
   addresses .45 and .46 or .47 and .48, but cannot span any other
   combination.  A TargetAddress with its own tag (.49) cannot be
   combined with any other address within the same session.

Appendix E. Algorithmic Presentation of Error Recovery Classes

This appendix illustrates the error recovery classes using a pseudo-programming-language. The procedure names are chosen to be obvious to most implementers. Each of the recovery classes described has initiator procedures as well as target procedures. These algorithms focus on outlining the mechanics of error recovery classes, and do not exhaustively describe all other aspects/cases. Examples of this approach are: - Handling for only certain Opcode types is shown. - Only certain reason codes (e.g., Recovery in Logout command) are outlined. - Resultant cases, such as recovery of Synchronization on a header digest error are considered out-of-scope in these algorithms. In this particular example, a header digest error may lead to connection recovery if some type of sync and steering layer is not implemented. These algorithms strive to convey the iSCSI error recovery concepts in the simplest terms, and are not designed to be optimal.

E.1. General Data Structure and Procedure Description

This section defines the procedures and data structures that are commonly used by all the error recovery algorithms. The structures may not be the exhaustive representations of what is required for a typical implementation. Data structure definitions - struct TransferContext { int TargetTransferTag; int ExpectedDataSN; }; struct TCB { /* task control block */ Boolean SoFarInOrder; int ExpectedDataSN; /* used for both R2Ts, and Data */ int MissingDataSNList[MaxMissingDPDU]; Boolean FbitReceived; Boolean StatusXferd; Boolean CurrentlyAllegiant; int ActiveR2Ts; int Response; char *Reason;

           int InitiatorTaskTag;
           int CmdSN;

           int SNACK_Tag;

   };

   struct Connection {
           struct Session SessionReference;

   Notes:

      -  One procedure used in this section: Handle-Status-SNACK-
         request is defined in Within-connection recovery algorithms.

      -  The Response processing pseudo-code, shown in the target
         algorithms, applies to all solicited PDUs that carry StatSN -
         SCSI Response, Text Response etc.

A solicited Nop-In PDU has an assigned StatSN, which, when out of order, could trigger the out of order StatSN handling in Within-command algorithms, again leading to Recover-Status-if-Possible. - The pseudo-code shown may result in the retransmission of unacknowledged commands in more cases than necessary. This will not, however, affect the correctness of the operation because the target is required to discard the duplicate CmdSNs. - The procedure Build-And-Send-Async is defined in the Connection recovery algorithms. - The procedure Status-Expect-Timeout-Handler describes how initiators may proactively attempt to retrieve the Status if they so choose. This procedure is assumed to be triggered much before the standard ULP timeout.

Appendix F. Clearing Effects of Various Events on Targets

F.1. Clearing Effects on iSCSI Objects

The following tables describe the target behavior on receiving the events specified in the rows of the table. The second table is an extension of the first table and defines clearing actions for more objects on the same events. The legend is: Y = Yes (cleared/discarded/reset on the event specified in the row). Unless otherwise noted, the clearing action is only applicable for the issuing initiator port. N = No (not affected on the event specified in the row, i.e., stays at previous value). NA = Not Applicable or Not Defined.

   1.  Incomplete TTTs - Target Transfer Tags on which the target is
   still  expecting PDUs to be received.  Examples include TTTs received
   via R2T, NOP-IN, etc.

   2.  Immediate Commands - immediate commands, but waiting for
   execution on a target.  For example, Abort Task Set.
ToP   noToC   RFC3720 - Page 251
   5.  Connection Tasks - tasks that are active on the iSCSI connection
   in question.

   6.  Session Tasks - tasks that are active on the entire iSCSI
   session.  A union of "connection tasks" on all participating
   connections.

   7.  Partial PDUs (if any) - PDUs that are partially sent and waiting
   for transport window credit to complete the transmission.

   8.  Connection failure is a connection exception condition - one of
   the transport connections shutdown, transport connections reset, or
   transport connections timed out, which abruptly terminated the iSCSI
   full-feature phase connection.  A connection failure always takes the
   connection state machine to the CLEANUP_WAIT state.

   9.  Connection state timeout happens if a connection spends more time
   that agreed upon during Login negotiation in the CLEANUP_WAIT state,
   and this takes the connection to the FREE state (M1 transition in
   connection cleanup state diagram).

   10.  These are defined in Section 5.3.5 Session Reinstatement,
   Closure, and Timeout.

   11.  This clearing effect is "Y" only if it is a connection
   reinstatement and the operational ErrorRecoveryLevel is less than 2.

   12.  Session continuation is defined in Section 5.3.6 Session
   Continuation and Failure.

   13.  This clearing effect is only valid if the connection is being
   logged out on a different connection and when the connection being
   logged out on the target may have some partial PDUs pending to be
   sent.  In all other cases, the effect is "NA".

   14.  This clearing effect is only valid for a "close the session"
   logout in a multi-connection session.  In all other cases, the effect
   is "NA".

   15.  Only applicable if this leading connection login is a session
   reinstatement.  If this is not the case, it is "NA".

   16.  This operation affects all logged-in initiators.

   18.  Session failure is defined in Section 5.3.6 Session Continuation
   and Failure.
ToP   noToC   RFC3720 - Page 252
   19.  This operation affects all logged-in initiators and the clearing
   effects are only applicable to the LU being reset.

   1.  Discontiguous Commands - commands allegiant to the connection in
   question and waiting to be reordered in the iSCSI layer.  All "Y"s in
   this column assume that the task causing the event (if indeed the
   event is the result of a task) is issued as an immediate command,
   because the discontiguities can be ahead of the task.
ToP   noToC   RFC3720 - Page 253
   2.  Discontiguous Data - data PDUs received for the task in question
   and waiting to be reordered due to prior discontiguities in DataSN.

   3.  StatSN

   4.  CmdSN

   5.  DataSN

   7.  It clears the StatSN on all the connections.

   8.  This sequence number is instantiated on this event.

   9.  A logout failure drives the connection state machine to the
   CLEANUP_WAIT state, similar to the connection failure event.  Hence,
   it has a similar effect on this and several other protocol aspects.

   10.  This is cleared by virtue of the fact that all sessions with all
   initiators are terminated.

   11.  This clearing effect is "Y" if it is a connection reinstatement.

   12.  This clearing effect is "Y" only if it is a connection
   reinstatement and the operational ErrorRecoveryLevel is 2.

   13.  This clearing effect is "N" only if it is a connection
   reinstatement and the operational ErrorRecoveryLevel is 2.

F.2. Clearing Effects on SCSI Objects

The only iSCSI protocol action that can effect clearing actions on SCSI objects is the "I_T nexus loss" notification (Section 4.3.5.1 Loss of Nexus notification). [SPC3] describes the clearing effects of this notification on a variety of SCSI attributes. In addition, SCSI standards documents (such as [SAM2] and [SBC]) define additional clearing actions that may take place for several SCSI objects on SCSI events such as LU resets and power-on resets. Since iSCSI defines a target cold reset as a protocol-equivalent to a target power-cycle, the iSCSI target cold reset must also be considered as the power-on reset event in interpreting the actions defined in the SCSI standards. When the iSCSI session is reconstructed (between the same SCSI ports with the same nexus identifier) reestablishing the same I_T nexus, all SCSI objects that are defined to not clear on the "I_T nexus loss" notification event, such as persistent reservations, are automatically associated to this new session.
