[ discussing the Windows SRP initiator ]

Since there are no active SRP maintainers, SRP status is questionable at this 
juncture.

Does that mean that Windows users who want a supported InfiniBand storage 
initiator driver have no other option than running Windows inside a virtual 
machine ?

Bart.

Hello,
  I'm not sure I understand your question in that how does running Windows 
inside a virtual machine get you a supported SRP initiator?

To date, the Windows SRP initiator works for some definition of works; Chris 
and I have both had success running winOFED 2.3 RC3 SRP drivers such that we 
are both able to find and utilize SRP target disks.
That said, there are rough edges that could/should be polished if Windows SRP 
had an active maintainer(s).
