Abstract
A method for resolving conflicts related to states of multiple iSCSI sessions between an iSCSI initiator and an iSCSI target, the method may include: comparing between (a) iSCSI initiator information that is indicative of states of the multiple iSCSI sessions as viewed by the iSCSI initiator, and (b) iSCSI target information that is indicative of the states of the multiple iSCSI sessions as viewed by the iSCSI target; wherein the comparing is preceded by utilizing a non-iSCSI connection for gathering at least one of the iSCSI initiator information and the iSCSI target information; and participating in a resolution of a conflict related to a given iSCSI session out of the multiple iSCSI sessions when the comparing shows that a state of the given iSCSI session as indicated in the iSCSI initiator information conflicts with the state of the given iSCSI session as indicated in the iSCSI target information.
