 Well, the QLA4xxx works OK, but you need to use the QLogic tools which are
 woefully out of date. Once you have it setup it works nicely.

   
   
   
 Thank´s Konrad...

 I have been studing the PCI Express for higher volume information 
 throughput. And the iscsi Qlogic´s HBA model
 is the QLE4xxx, instead of QLA4xxx. Do you have any expirience about it 
 

 It is the same chipset. Just a different form-factor.

   
 ? Would this work as well as the QLA4xxx for Fedora environment ?
 

 Yes. The qla4xxx driver supports both form-factors and both port-options 
 (dual or single port).


 
   
OK!

So, do you think that I´m in the right direction, when I say that I´m 
going to create my own
repository with some proprietary hardware and free software? Or it could 
be a bad trip...

Thank´s!

 What is it that you are intending to do? If you are just looking to use 
 iSCSI
 I would recommend you first play with the Open-ISCSI initator (I presume you
 already have an iSCSI target?). If you want no CPU load when doing iSCSI, 
 then
 the hardware HBA's are the choice.


   
   
 What I intend is to have the best performance and reliability storage as 
 cheaper as possible...
 So, I already tested the open-iscsi target and iniciator on a fedora 
 box. The results were not
 so good, the best result were with a fedora target and windows XP 
 iniciator.

 

 I do not think I have ever heard that result before. For fedora target 
 do you mean, scsi-target-utils rpm that comes with fedora or is it a 
 IET/iscsi-target based rpm?

 
   
Unfortunately I don´t have it... I tested it at the end of last year, 
and a used the package that came with fedora at that time.
But I clearly remember that with XP it was transparently and worked 
fine. And from linux to linux I had some little problems to
even make it work out. So I wrote to the list, and somebody told me that 
there was some problem with the
iniciator package for linux...
