My company does quite a lot if iSCSI. As far as I know all of our production deployments have been with the Windows as the source and NetApp and Sun as the targets. Works very well. Windows has iSCSI drivers built in, but we tend to use HBAs with TCP acceleration built in for improved performance.

Going back to the question of experience, has anybody on the list actually implemented iSCSI? If so, what OS was the initiator and what did you use for targets? How easy was it to set up, and how stable was the result? Dave On Thu, 15 Jun 2006, Steve Revilak wrote: > At my workplace, we have several shared filesystems (a combination of > NFS and samba/CIFS).
