OK, I see "scsi-target-utils" (I was looking for "*iscsi*"). I guess
there's also a driver needed (I'm talking about providing iSCSI targets
via standard Ethernet NICs), is that now included in the kernel?
I'm used to what's provided by <http://iscsitarget.sourceforge.net/>
(which I have had working in a test situation on RHEL4). Is that a
different project?
Hi,
the scsi-target-utils package that we are shipping as a tech preview in
5.1 is based on the Linux SCSI target framework (tgt) project at
http://stgt.berlios.de
This is a general framework for supporting SCSI targets of any type:
iSCSI today, Fibre Channel, SRP, others, in the future.
The kernel part of this has been accepted upstream.
The iscsitarget project you referenced above is the "iSCSI
Enterprise Target"
at http://sourceforge.net/projects/iscsitarget/
This implementation is specific to iSCSI, and has a larger kernel
component
than tgt. It is not expected to be accepted upstream, and we
currently have no
plans to ship/include it.
There is some addtl information in the RHEL5.1 release notes :
The Linux target (tgt) framework allows a system to serve
block-level SCSI storage to
other systems that have a SCSI initiator. This capability is being
initially deployed as a
Linux iSCSI target, serving storage over a network to any iSCSI
initiator.
To set up the iSCSI target, install the scsi-target-utils RPM and
refer to the instructions in:
- /usr/share/doc/scsi-target-utils-<version>/README
- /usr/share/doc/scsi-target-utils-<version>/README.iscsi
Replace <version> with the corresponding version of the package
installed.
For more information, refer to man tgtadm.
Hth,
Jan
