You are correct that the iser initiator code is now based on openIB stack and follows the open-iscsi APIs instead of the datamover API. If you dig in the iser-initiator history, you'll find that it too was originaly based on datamover API on top of kDAPL.
The datamover API was a nice concept, but it did not carry well into the real-world implementation, and so was dropped.
The ISER target code available was donated by Voltaire as a starting point for an open-source ISER/iSCSI target implementation. There is a small working group working on this project, in conjunction with the stgt project. In the future we expect it to loose the datamover API as well, and change a lot. If you're interested, I suggest you subscribe to stgt mailing list at http://developer.berlios.de/mail/?group_id=4492

Hi all,
I was looking at iSER initiator and target code. I noticed that iSER target code available is based on Datamover architecture but the initiator code is not based on Datamover Architecture. Why the iSER initiator code is not based on Datamover Architecture? What are the future plans for the iSER target driver code?
With which iSCSI interface the iSER target driver code will be used?
Thanks in advance
Thanks and Regards
