Appendix B. 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   ToC   RFC7143 - Page 262
   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 it 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   ToC   RFC7143 - Page 263
   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
          TargetName=iqn.1999-07.com.example:diskarray.sn.88
          AuthMethod=KRB5,SRP,None

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

      I-> Login (CSG,NSG=0,0 T=0)
          SRP_U=<user>
          TargetAuth=Yes

          SRP_B=<B>

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

   If the initiator authentication is successful, the target proceeds
   with:

      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)
          ... iSCSI parameters

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

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

          InitiatorName=iqn.1999-07.com.os:hostid.77

          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 it terminates the connection.

   In the next example, only the initiator is authenticated by the

          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)

          ... 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):

Appendix C. SendTargets Operation

The text in this appendix is a normative part of this document. 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 (IP address-port pairs and Target Portal Group Tags) for the targets on the target Network Entity that 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 command as it sees fit.
Top   ToC   RFC7143 - Page 269
   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 session or an 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.

      <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 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 13.4.

   A Discovery session 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.
Top   ToC   RFC7143 - Page 270
   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 ([RFC4291]), as specified for the TargetAddress key.

   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 Target Portal Group Tag (see Section 13.9).  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 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.
Top   ToC   RFC7143 - Page 271
   Examples:

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

   The initiator sends a Text Request that contains:

      SendTargets=All

   The target sends a Text Response that contains:

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

   All the target had to return in this 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 those used on the current connection to
   the default iSCSI target.

   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 Target Portal Group Tag; they do not support spanning multiple-
   connection sessions with each other.  Keep in mind that the Target
   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.
Top   ToC   RFC7143 - Page 272
   The next Text Response shows a target that supports spanning sessions
   across multiple addresses and further illustrates the use of the
   Target 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.

   This SendTargets response does not indicate whether .49 supports
   multiple connections per session; it is communicated via the
   MaxConnections text key upon login to the target.

Appendix D. 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 as follows: - 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.
Top   ToC   RFC7143 - Page 273
   These algorithms strive to convey the iSCSI error recovery concepts
   in the simplest terms and are not designed to be optimal.

D.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; struct TransferContext TransferContextList[MaxOutstandingR2T]; int InitiatorTaskTag; int CmdSN; int SNACK_Tag; }; struct Connection { struct Session SessionReference; Boolean SoFarInOrder; int CID; int State; int CurrentTimeout; int ExpectedStatSN; int MissingStatSNList[MaxMissingSPDU]; Boolean PerformConnectionCleanup; };
Top   ToC   RFC7143 - Page 274
   struct Session {
           int NumConnections;
           int CmdSN;
           int Maxconnections;
           int ErrorRecoveryLevel;
           struct iSCSIEndpoint OtherEndInfo;

   Implementation-specific parameters that are tunable:

   InitiatorProactiveSNACKEnabled

   Notes:

   - The initiator algorithms only deal with unsolicited NOP-In PDUs for
     generating Status SNACKs.  A solicited NOP-In PDU has an assigned
     StatSN that, when out of order, could trigger the out-of-order
     StatSN handling in within-command algorithms, again leading to
     Recover-Status-if-Possible.

   - The pseudocode 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 E. Clearing Effects of Various Events on Targets

E.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 (IT) are 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 (IC) are immediate commands, but waiting
          for execution on a target (for example, ABORT TASK SET).
Top   ToC   RFC7143 - Page 290
     (5)  Connection Tasks (CT) are tasks that are active on the iSCSI
          connection in question.

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

     (7)  Partial PDUs (PP) (if any) are 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 shut down, 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 than 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; see
          Section 8.2).

     (10) Session timeout, closure, and reinstatement are defined in
          Section 6.3.5.

     (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 6.3.6.

     (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 6.3.6.
Top   ToC   RFC7143 - Page 291
     (19) This operation affects all logged-in initiators, and the
          clearing effects are only applicable to the LU being reset.

     (20) With standard multi-task abort semantics (Section 4.2.3.3), a
          TARGET WARM RESET or a TARGET COLD RESET or a LU reset would
          clear the active TTTs upon completion.  However, the FastAbort
          multi-task abort semantics defined by Section 4.2.3.4 do not
          guarantee that the active TTTs are cleared by the end of the
          reset operations.  In fact, the FastAbort semantics are
          designed to allow clearing the TTTs in a "lazy" fashion after
          the TMF Response is delivered.  Thus, when
          TaskReporting=FastAbort (Section 13.23) is operational on a
          session, the clearing effects of reset operations on
          "Incomplete TTTs" is "N".

     (1)  Discontiguous Commands (DC) are 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.

     (2)  Discontiguous Data (DD) are data PDUs received for the task in
          question and waiting to be reordered due to prior
          discontiguities in the DataSN.
Top   ToC   RFC7143 - Page 293
     (3)  "SS" refers to the StatSN.

     (4)  "CS" refers to the CmdSN.

     (5)  "DS" refers to the DataSN.

     (7)  This action 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.

E.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 6.3.5.1 ("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 [SBC2]) 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.
