IP Storage WG (ips) 

Monday, November 18 at 1300-1500
================================

CHAIRS: David L. Black <black_david@emc.com>
        Elizabeth Rodriguez <erodrigu@brocade.com>  **NEW EMAIL**

AGENDA: SUBJECT TO CHANGE

Announcement:  The IPS WG's work program is close to complete.  All remaining
        WG drafts will go to WG Last Call shortly after Atlanta at the latest.

Most of the IPS WG drafts are NOT listed on this agenda as their
authors and WG co-chairs are not aware of any open technical
issues requiring meeting time to discuss, and most have completed
WG Last Call.

        - BLUE SHEETS
        - NOTE WELL
        - Status of drafts
        - Future of IPS WG (chairs and ADs)

- SCSI MIB (15 min) draft-ietf-ips-scsi-mib-04.txt

- DHC support for iSCSI boot failure notification (15 min)
        draft-bakke-dhc-snmp-trap-01.txt

        If this draft is to go forward, it will do so in the DHC WG, but
        it's on the agenda here to discuss the problem and proposed approach
        to solving it.

- NAA naming format for iSCSI (30 min) draft-krueger-iscsi-name-ext-00.txt
        This draft proposes to add a new .naa naming format to iSCSI in
        addition to the current .iqn and .eui formats.  A significant
        motivation for this is an desire by T10 (ANSI organization that
        handles SCSI standards) to obtain consistent SCSI device
        naming across SCSI transports.

        The authors request that the IPS WG adopt this draft as an official
        work item.  It would become a separate RFC rather than being folded
        into the main iSCSI draft.

- Any other business/questions (time remaining)

DESCRIPTION:

        The IP Storage WG works on using IP-based networks to transport block storage
        traffic.  See http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/ips-charter.html

IETF IP Storage (ips) Working Group
WG Internet-Draft Status: November 2002
------------------------------------

Summary: 23 drafts total:
        - 2 have been published as RFCs
        - 4 are in IETF Last Call
        - 4 have been forwarded to ADs/IESG after completing WG Last Call
        - 5 have completed WG Last Call with all technical issues resolved.
                Editorial updates, nit checks, and/or MIB advisor approval
                may be needed prior to forwarding to the ADs/IESG.
        - 1 has completed WG Last Call, and all technical issues are believed
                to be resolved, but another WG Last Call will be done to
                check the changes made as a result of the first WG Last Call.
        - 1 is in WG Last Call
        - 3 will not be published as RFCs (WG Last Call comment resolution)
That leaves 3 drafts still to go through WG Last Call.

IESG draft tracker - https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/pidtracker.cgi
        This tracks status of drafts that have been submitted to the ADs/IESG
        and indicates only the existence of those that have not.  Status
        with respect to WG Last Call is not tracked by this tool.

NOTE: PDF versions for some drafts are for ease of review only.  The
        definitive format for RFCs is text, and it is the text versions
        that will be forwarded to the IESG for publication as RFCs.

draft-ietf-ips-fcip-wglc-02.txt

        These drafts will not be published as RFCs.  They exist solely to record
        the resolution of WG Last Call comments on the FC Encapsulation,
        FCIP and iFCP drafts.

----- Document Completion Guesstimates ------

The drafts that have not completed WG Last Call fall into three categories:

(1) Completed WG Last Call, but needs another one to check changes
        resulting from the first WG Last Call.
                - iSNS

(2) In WG Last Call
                - FCIP MIB (ends November 10)

(3) WG Last Call still needed for:
                - iSNS MIB
                - iSCSI SLP
                - SCSI MIB

The WG co-chairs expect to announce WG Last Calls for some of the
four remaining drafts that need them next week - the Last Calls will
close at least a week after the Atlanta meetings.

-- Potential Additional Work

Additional drafts may be forthcoming on:
        - Issues involved in gateways and bridges between iSCSI and other SCSI
                protocols.  There has been work in this area, but the draft was
                not submitted in time for Atlanta meeting.
        - Additional MIB(s) that extend the FC Management MIB to cover additional
                aspects of Fibre Channel.
        - iSNS extensions to support FCIP in addition to iFCP and iSNS.
        - Addition of a new iSCSI name type (NAA) in order to coordinate
                SCSI device naming across transports with T10 - this is motivated
                by VPD usage for multi-protocol devices rather than an iSCSI
                need for a third class of names.
                        draft-krueger-iscsi-name-ext-00.txt
        - DHCP support for boot failure notification.
                        draft-bakke-dhc-snmp-trap-00.txt  Will also need review
                in dhc wg and from MIB/SNMP experts.
