Subject: iSCSI: SCSI SAM-3 Model

Last week I presented to the T10 SCSI working group
the beginnings of an idea for a SCSI Architecture
Model based on the I_T Nexus instead of on the SCSI
Domain.  The idea was well received and discussions
are beginning for a SAM-3.  In spite of the fact that
it looks like the same protocol document (e.g., FCP-2)
could fit under either the SAM-2 or the SAM-3 model,
nobody thinks it would be fair to slip this kind of
change in SAM-2.

I've cleanup up bugs in the presentation and posted
it as:

Those who think about the iSCSI model and how it fits
with the SAM model may wish to examine the presentation
and catch me at the Minneapolis meeting with questions.

Thanks.
