IP Storage (ips) WG - Washington DC minutes
------------------------------------------- The IP Storage (ips) WG met 1300-1500 on Monday, November 8, 2004 at the IETF meetings in Washington, DC. AGENDA and MINUTES ------------------ Letters in square brackets (e.g., [A]) indicate first character in filename of presentation. Administrivia, agenda bashing, draft status review, etc.: [A] 15 min David Black, EMC (co-chair) Blue sheets Note Well Milestones - iSER and DA to ADs in April/May 2005 Draft status - All protocol drafts are in RFC Editor queue - iSNS DHC option will be there shortly after meeting - FCIP SLP template needs an errata to correct version # in template from 0.1 to 1.0 - Waiting on new versions of iSCSI MIB, iSCSI Auth MIB and FCIP MIB from draft authors. - iFCP and iSNS MIBs need author attention Any open MIB issues: [no slides] 15 min Elizabeth Rodriguez, Dot Hill (co-chair) FC Management MIB (draft-ietf-ips-fcmgmt-mib-05.txt) - New field to be added to deal with a MIB instance that covers multiple switches. This was submitted as an IETF Last Call comment, but got lost. -06 version of MIB will be produced containing all agreed-to changes from -05 plus this change. Message will be sent to list to do a quick review of this final change. iSER and DA: [B] 1 hour Mike Ko, IBM (draft-ietf-ips-iser-00.txt) (draft-ietf-ips-iwarp-da-00.txt) iSER = iSCSI Extensions for RDMA DA = Datamover Architecture for iSCSI Control of unexpected PDUs - Sense of room: Using a key to limit # of outstanding unexpected PDUs is the right approach. "None" = "No Limit" is allowed. Minimum value (e.g., to avoid 1 or 2) is TBD [Open Issue] - Specified default value (None vs. specific value) in absence of negotiation will be taken to list. [Open Issue] - Draft will need to contain discussion of unexpected vs. expected PDUs and buffering requirements, and when an unexpected PDU ceases to be outstanding. - Add cautionary notes to avoid NOP-out and NOP-in abuse, but take this to the list, as there may be a possibility of being able to specify initiator behavior that always works. [Open Issue] - [Open Issue]'s to be discussed on list. iSER over InfiniBand: [C] 30 min John Hufferd, IBM No draft available. This time period is for discussion of possible work to support iSCSI over InfiniBand via iSER. The primary purpose of this time is a discussion of whether the IETF should undertake work in this area, and if so, what scope of work is appropriate (e.g., to avoid all of us having to become InfiniBand experts). Proposal is iSER over InfiniBand to enable use of iSCSI Terminology: RDMAP should be for the RDDP WG protocol only, and not generalized as proposed in the slides. Resolution: No real conclusion. Enabling reuse of IETF technology like iSCSI/iSER in other environments is a "good thing" in principle. OTOH, our AD is concerned about InfiniBand protocols (e.g., RC) getting out onto the Internet and causing problems. Proponents should produce Internet-Draft addressing architecture, intended usage, Infiniband to IP/Internet proxy (in particular, protocol stack layer diagram) and proposed division of work between IETF and IBTA that avoids need for serious InfiniBand expertise in IETF (e.g., the work needed to cope with old implementations of InfiniBand appears to belong in IBTA, not IETF). Based on WG discussion of that draft, the WG co-chairs, and ADs can determine appropriate next steps. |
