I think you have one thing backwards: an iSCSI initiator is typically on the _client_, the one using a resource. (an iSCSI initiator is usually software, but it could theoretically be a board that looks to the host system like a real SCSI controller, but implements its own network stack on-board)
an iSCSI target is the resource, and I'd certainly call the system providing it the server. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
