Abstract
Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) is a SCSI transport protocol that maps the SCSI family of protocols onto TCP/IP. The iSCSI protocol as specified in RFC 7143 (and as previously specified by the combination of RFC 3720 and RFC 5048) is based on the SAM-2 (SCSI Architecture Model - 2) version of the SCSI family of protocols. This document defines enhancements to the iSCSI protocol to support certain additional features of the SCSI protocol that were defined in SAM-3, SAM-4, and SAM-5.

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-1" href="#section-1">1</a>. Introduction</span>
The original iSCSI protocol [<a href="./rfc3720" title=""Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI)"">RFC3720</a>] was built based on the [<a href="#ref-SAM2" title=""SCSI Architecture Model - 2 (SAM-2)"">SAM2</a>]
model for SCSI. Several new features and capabilities have been
added to the SCSI Architecture Model in the intervening years (at the
time of publication of this document, SAM-5 was the current version
of the SCSI Architecture Model). This document is not a complete
revision of [<a href="./rfc3720" title=""Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI)"">RFC3720</a>]. Instead, this document is intended as a
companion document to <a href="./rfc7143">RFC 7143</a>; this document may also be used as a
companion document to the combination of [<a href="./rfc3720" title=""Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI)"">RFC3720</a>] and [<a href="./rfc5048" title=""Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) Corrections and Clarifications"">RFC5048</a>],
although both of those RFCs have been obsoleted by [<a href="./rfc7143" title=""Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) Protocol (Consolidated)"">RFC7143</a>].

The iSCSI model (defined in [<a href="./rfc7143" title=""Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) Protocol (Consolidated)"">RFC7143</a>]) uses different terminology
than the SCSI Architecture Model. In some cases, iSCSI uses multiple
terms to describe what in the SCSI Architecture Model is described
with a single term. The iSCSI terms and SAM-5 terms are not
necessarily equivalent, but rather, the iSCSI terms represent
examples of the objects or classes described in SAM-5 as follows:

The following diagram shows an example of a combination target device
and initiator device. Such a configuration may exist in a target
device that implements a SCSI Copy Manager. This example shows how a
session that shares Network Portals within a Portal Group may be
established (see Target Portal Group 1). In addition, this example
shows the initiator using a different portal group than the target
portal group, but the initiator portal group sharing Network Portal A
with the target portal group.

<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-4.1" href="#section-4.1">4.1</a>. Negotiation of New Feature Use</span>
The iSCSIProtocolLevel operational text key (see <a href="#section-7.1.1">Section 7.1.1</a>)
containing a value of "2" MUST be negotiated to enable the use of
features described in this RFC.
This is an iSCSI negotiation mechanism that enabled iSCSI support for
corresponding SCSI capabilities (see [<a href="#ref-SAM5" title=""SCSI Architecture Model - 5 (SAM-5)"">SAM5</a>] and [<a href="#ref-SPC4" title=""SCSI Primary Commands - 4"">SPC4</a>]). For this
reason, negotiation of this key to a value of "2" is necessary but
not sufficient for use of the SCSI capabilities enabled by the iSCSI
features in this RFC.
<span class="grey">Knight & Chadalapaka Standards Track [Page 7]</span><span id="page-8" ></span>
<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc7144">RFC 7144</a> iSCSI SCSI Features Update April 2014</span>
For example, an iSCSI implementation may negotiate this new key to
"2" but respond to the new task management functions (see <a href="#section-6.3">Section</a>
<a href="#section-6.3">6.3</a>) with "Task management function not supported" (which indicates a
SCSI error that prevents the function from being performed). In
contrast, if the key is negotiated to "2", an iSCSI implementation
MUST NOT reject a Task Management Function Request PDU that requests
one of the new task management functions (as such a reject would
report an iSCSI protocol error).
<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-4.2" href="#section-4.2">4.2</a>. Impact on Standard INQUIRY Data - iSCSI Version Descriptors</span>
The negotiated value of the iSCSIProtocolLevel key is an increment
from the base iSCSI version descriptor value (0960h); see [<a href="#ref-SPC4" title=""SCSI Primary Commands - 4"">SPC4</a>]. If
the SCSI device server returns an iSCSI version descriptor in the
standard INQUIRY data, then the value returned in that iSCSI version
descriptor MUST be set to the sum of the base value (0960h) plus the
negotiated value of the iSCSIProtocolLevel key. (For example, if the
negotiated iSCSIProtocolLevel=2, then if an iSCSI version descriptor
is returned in the standard INQUIRY data, it is set to 0962h.)
In support of this functionality, INCITS Technical Committee T10,
which is responsible for SCSI standards, has assigned SCSI version
descriptor codes 0961h-097Fh to <a href="./rfc7144">RFC 7144</a> for IANA to manage via the
values 1-31 of the iSCSIProtocolLevel key; see <a href="#section-9">Section 9</a>. The "No
version claimed" description for the value 0 of the
iSCSIProtocolLevel key corresponds to the existing T10 assignment of
the 0960h SCSI version descriptor code to "iSCSI (no version
claimed)" -- for this reason, the assignment of the value 0 in the
IANA registry for the iSCSIProtocolLevel key must not be changed.

<a href="./rfc7143#section-11.5">Section 11.5 of [RFC7143]</a> defines the semantics used to request that
SCSI task management functions be performed. The following task

7 - TARGET COLD RESET

<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-6.3" href="#section-6.3">6.3</a>. Task Management Function Additions</span>
Additional task management function codes are listed below. For a
more detailed description of SCSI task management, see [<a href="#ref-SAM5" title=""SCSI Architecture Model - 5 (SAM-5)"">SAM5</a>].
9 - QUERY TASK - determine if the command identified by the
Referenced Task Tag field is present in the task set.
10 - QUERY TASK SET - determine if any command is present in the
task set for the I_T_L Nexus on which the task management
function was received.
11 - I_T NEXUS RESET - perform an I_T nexus loss function (see
[<a href="#ref-SAM5" title=""SCSI Architecture Model - 5 (SAM-5)"">SAM5</a>]) for the I_T nexus on which the task management function
was received.
12 - QUERY ASYNCHRONOUS EVENT - determine if there is a unit
attention condition or a deferred error pending for the I_T_L
nexus on which the task management function was received.
These task management function requests MUST NOT be sent unless the
iSCSIProtocolLevel text key with a value of "2" as defined in <a href="#section-7.1.1">Section</a>

Any compliant initiator that sends any of the new task management
functions defined in this section MUST also support all new task
management function responses (as specified in <a href="#section-6.4.2">Section 6.4.2</a>).
For all of the task management functions detailed in this section,
the Task Management Function Response MUST be returned as detailed in
<a href="#section-6.4">Section 6.4</a>.
<span class="grey">Knight & Chadalapaka Standards Track [Page 14]</span><span id="page-15" ></span>
<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc7144">RFC 7144</a> iSCSI SCSI Features Update April 2014</span>
The iSCSI target MUST ensure that no responses for the commands
covered by a task management function are sent to the iSCSI initiator
port after the Task Management response except for commands covered
by a TASK REASSIGN, QUERY TASK, or QUERY TASK SET.
If a QUERY TASK is issued for a task created by an immediate command,
then RefCmdSN MUST be that of the Task Management request itself
(i.e., CmdSN and RefCmdSN are equal); otherwise, RefCmdSN MUST be set
to the CmdSN of the task to be queried (lower than CmdSN).
If the connection is still active (it is not undergoing an implicit
or explicit logout), QUERY TASK MUST be issued on the same connection
to which the task to be queried is allegiant at the time the Task
Management request is issued. If the connection is implicitly or
explicitly logged out (i.e., no other request will be issued on the
failing connection and no other response will be received on the
failing connection), then a QUERY TASK function request may be issued
on another connection. This Task Management request will then
establish a new allegiance for the command being queried.
At the target, a QUERY TASK function MUST NOT be executed on a Task
Management request; such a request MUST result in Task Management
response of "Function rejected".
For the I_T NEXUS RESET function, the target device MUST respond to
the function as defined in [<a href="#ref-SAM5" title=""SCSI Architecture Model - 5 (SAM-5)"">SAM5</a>]. Each logical unit accessible via
the receiving I_T NEXUS MUST behave as dictated by the I_T nexus loss
function in [<a href="#ref-SAM5" title=""SCSI Architecture Model - 5 (SAM-5)"">SAM5</a>] for the I_T nexus on which the task management
function was received. The target device MUST drop all connections
in the session over which this function is received. Independent of
the DefaultTime2Wait and DefaultTime2Retain values applicable to the
session over which this function is received, the target device MUST
consider each participating connection in the session to have
immediately timed out, leading to FREE state. The resulting timeouts
cause the session timeout event defined in [<a href="./rfc7143" title=""Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) Protocol (Consolidated)"">RFC7143</a>], which in turn
triggers the I_T nexus loss notification to the SCSI layer as
described in [<a href="./rfc7143" title=""Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) Protocol (Consolidated)"">RFC7143</a>].
<span class="h4"><a class="selflink" id="section-6.3.1" href="#section-6.3.1">6.3.1</a>. LUN Field</span>
This field is required for functions that address a specific LU

The Task Management Function Response PDU above and the list of task
management function responses above are duplicated from [<a href="./rfc7143" title=""Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) Protocol (Consolidated)"">RFC7143</a>] for
reference only. [<a href="./rfc7143" title=""Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) Protocol (Consolidated)"">RFC7143</a>] supersedes the text in <a href="#section-6.4.1">section 6.4.1</a> of
this document in the event the two documents conflict.
Responses to new task management functions (see <a href="#section-6.4.2">Section 6.4.2</a>) are
listed below. In addition, a new task Management response is listed
below. For a more detailed description of SCSI task management
responses, see [<a href="#ref-SAM5" title=""SCSI Architecture Model - 5 (SAM-5)"">SAM5</a>].
For the functions QUERY TASK, QUERY TASK SET, I_T NEXUS RESET, and
QUERY ASYNCHRONOUS EVENT, the target performs the requested Task
Management function and sends a Task Management response back to the
initiator.
<span class="h4"><a class="selflink" id="section-6.4.2" href="#section-6.4.2">6.4.2</a>. Task Management Function Response Additions</span>
The new response is listed below:
7 - Function succeeded
In symbolic terms Response value 7 maps to the SCSI service response
of FUNCTION SUCCEEDED in [<a href="#ref-SAM5" title=""SCSI Architecture Model - 5 (SAM-5)"">SAM5</a>].
The Task Management Function Response of "Function succeeded" MUST be
supported by an initiator that sends any of the new task management
functions (see <a href="#section-6.3">Section 6.3</a>).
For the QUERY TASK function, if the specified task is in the task
set, then the logical unit returns a Response value of "Function
succeeded", and additional response information is returned as
specified in [<a href="#ref-SAM5" title=""SCSI Architecture Model - 5 (SAM-5)"">SAM5</a>]. If the specified task is not in the task set,
then the logical unit returns a Response value of "Function
complete".
For the QUERY TASK SET function, if there is any command present in
the task set from the specified I_T_L nexus, then the logical unit
returns a Response value of "Function succeeded". If there are no
commands present in the task set from the specified I_T_L nexus, then
the logical unit returns a Response value of "Function complete".
For the I_T NEXUS RESET function, after completion of the events
described in <a href="#section-6.3">Section 6.3</a> for this function, the logical unit returns
a Response value of "Function complete". However, because the target
drops all connections, the Service Response (defined by [<a href="#ref-SAM5" title=""SCSI Architecture Model - 5 (SAM-5)"">SAM5</a>]) for
this SCSI task management function may not be reliably delivered to
the issuing initiator port.

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc7144">RFC 7144</a> iSCSI SCSI Features Update April 2014</span>
For the QUERY ASYNCHRONOUS EVENT, if there is a unit attention
condition or deferred error pending for the specified I_T_L nexus,
then the logical unit returns a Response value of "Function
succeeded", and additional response information is returned as
specified in [<a href="#ref-SAM5" title=""SCSI Architecture Model - 5 (SAM-5)"">SAM5</a>]. If there is no unit attention or deferred error
pending for the specified I_T_L nexus, then the logical unit returns
a Response value of "Function complete".

<a href="./rfc5048#section-4.1">Section 4.1 of [RFC5048]</a> defines the notion of "affected tasks" in
multi-task abort scenarios. This section adds to the list included
in that section by defining the tasks affected by the I_T NEXUS RESET
function.
I_T NEXUS RESET: All outstanding tasks received on the I_T nexus
on which the function request was received for all logical
units accessible to the I_T nexus.
Sections <a href="#section-4.1.2">4.1.2</a> and <a href="#section-4.1.3">4.1.3</a> of [<a href="./rfc5048" title=""Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) Corrections and Clarifications"">RFC5048</a>] identify semantics for task
management functions that involve multi-task abort operations. If an
iSCSI implementation supports the I_T NEXUS RESET function, it MUST
also support the protocol behavior as defined in those sections and
follow the sequence of actions as described in those sections when
processing the I_T NEXUS RESET function.

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc7144">RFC 7144</a> iSCSI SCSI Features Update April 2014</span>
Negotiation of the iSCSIProtocolLevel key to a value corresponding to
an RFC indicates that both negotiating parties are compliant to the
RFC in question and agree to support the corresponding PDU formats
and semantics on that iSCSI session. Features using this key are
expected to be cumulative.
An iSCSIProtocolLevel key negotiated to "0" indicates that the
implementation does not claim a specific iSCSI protocol level.
An iSCSIProtocolLevel key negotiated to "1" indicates that the
implementation claims compliance with [<a href="./rfc7143" title=""Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) Protocol (Consolidated)"">RFC7143</a>].
An iSCSIProtocolLevel key negotiated to "2" is required to enable use
of features defined in this RFC.
If the negotiation answer is ignored by the acceptor, or the answer
from the remote iSCSI end point is key=NotUnderstood, then the
features defined in this RFC, and the features defined in any RFC
requiring a key value greater than "2", MUST NOT be used.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-8" href="#section-8">8</a>. Security Considerations</span>
Command priorities are relative values, not absolute values (see
[<a href="#ref-SAM5" title=""SCSI Architecture Model - 5 (SAM-5)"">SAM5</a>], and affect collections of commands, not necessarily
individual commands (see [<a href="#ref-SAM5" title=""SCSI Architecture Model - 5 (SAM-5)"">SAM5</a>]). If command priority is supported,
it should be implemented in a fashion that avoids unwanted reduction
or denial of service.

This document modifies or creates a number of iSCSI-related

iSCSIProtocolLevel, <a href="./rfc7144">RFC 7144</a>
IANA has created the following iSCSI-related registries.
3. iSCSI Protocol Level
Name of new registry: "iSCSI Protocol Level"
Namespace details: Numerical values from 0 to 31
Information that must be provided to assign a new value: An IESG-
approved Standards Track specification defining the semantics and

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc7144">RFC 7144</a> iSCSI SCSI Features Update April 2014</span>
Assignment policy:
The assignments of these values must be coordinated with the
INCITS T10 committee; therefore, review by an expert that
maintains an association with that committee is required prior to
IESG approval of the associated specification. After creation of
the registry, values are to be assigned sequentially (for example,
any value greater than 4 will not be assigned until after the
value 4 has been assigned).
Special care must be taken in the assignment of new values in this
registry. Compatibility and interoperability will be adversely
impacted if proper care is not exercised. Features using this key
are expected to be cumulative. For example, since this document
explicitly lists only value 2 for the features listed in this
document, it is expected that a new RFC assigning value 3 will
also have the features listed in this RFC, and therefore such an
RFC is expected to either revise or replace this RFC. Assignments
that do not follow this policy should be reviewed and approved by
the INCITS T10 committee.
3-31: range available to IANA for assignment in this registry.
Fields to record in the registry: Assigned value, description, and
its associated RFC reference.
