An note on the HP MPX 100
Hi, maybe some of you like to know what I think to have found out: The HP EVA iSCSI connectivity MPX 100 box seems to be an OEM version of the Qlogic iSR6140 Universal SAN Connectivity (with different firmware however). Unfortunately HP support seems to know a little less about the box than myself ;-) Oh man, but they sell it!

Looking at the first three bytes of the MAC address might reveal this (not sure about this). Hi Bart, I assume there are quite a few iSCSI boxes without Ethernet interfaces ;-) The box has two Gb Ethernet interfaces that, AFAIK, have hardware acceleration for iSCSI. (If you search the Internet for Qlogic iSR6140 Universal SAN Connectivity you may find the whitepaper that shows an image of the connectors of the box) The access to the hardware is resticted, but having the facts that qlogic built the hardware for iSCSI, it's quite possible that they use their own hardware- accelerated iSCSI HBAs. Will the MAC 00:C0:DD:0D:0C:8B uncover the secret? Regards, Ulrich --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups open-iscsi group.

From http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/index.shtml: 00-C0-DD (hex)QLogic Corporation 00C0DD (base 16)QLogic Corporation 6321 Bury Dr. Eden Prarie MN 55346 UNITED STATES The above information is consistent with what you reported, namely that the NIC's have hardware iSCSI acceleration. This information is relevant because it tells us something about where to look for the CHAP implementation. Maybe one of the people who reads this mailing list knows whether CHAP support for QLogic HBA's is implemented in the QLogic kernel driver or the QLogic HBA BIOS ?
