Re: iSCSI support in Linux

Hi Jay,

Thanks a lot for your response.

There is seems to be generic iSCSI driver (/drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.c).
 So why are we having separate drivers/scsi/be2iscsi ?  is it specific
to emulex storage device ? This point is not clear to me.

I am network driver person, I am not familiar with SCSI/iSCSI. So any
help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Rayagond

Yes, there is support for offloading in Linux (open-iscsi) and it is under
scsi directory.

One example would be the Emulex driver at  drivers/scsi/be2iscsi

Hi All,

I am checking iSCSI support in Linux, during the search over internet
I got to know that iSCSI standard is implemented in Linux with kernel
version 2.6.20 and later. But I didn't understand one thing clearly
that is there any NIC offloading features related iSCSI ? if so, is
there any support in Linux  for such offloading features ? Any example
NIC driver in LXR with iSCSI implementation ?


Thanks
Rayagond.
