RE: iSCSI support for Linux??

[Nitin Dhingra]

Hi Ben,
	That is a pretty old iscsi draft that you have pointed to.
The latest iscsi draft ver 7 is available from ietf.org
I have about 5 different code's for iScsi 

1) by Cisco : 
		I checked the code I guess this one is 
		working on both client and server Code 

2) by Intel : 
		I checked the code faked on the server side
		and was based on iscsi draft ver 3.

3) by UNH : 
		I checked the code faked on the server side
		and was based on iscsi draft ver 3.

4) by Chris Loveland : 
		I checked the code faked on the server side
		I don't remember right now where I got this one's code from
			
5) by Ashish A. Palekar : 
		I checked the code I guess this one is 
		working on both client and server Code 
		and was based on iscsi draft ver 3.
		I don't remember where I got this one's code from


I guess cisco's code has also implemented authentication & security.
I think someone gave you the links and you must have d/l by now.
I guess by the end this year end there will be support for iScsi in 
Linux Kernel.

Does anyone know of any efforts to support iSCSI in Linux?

Here's the ietf draft if anyone is curious:

Re: iSCSI support for Linux??

[Beihong Wu]

Hi Nitin,
I am also investigating the iSCSI stuff now, and focusing on the server
side. I found most implementors have no support to authentication and
security. That's the reason why I prefer to the Cisco one, which support
CHAP authentication. But I can't find the server code in their site,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-iscsi/, only the driver and daemon on
client side here. So can you tell me where I can get a linux server code
matching this client?

Thank you very much,

Beihong Wu

Have you tried the code from UNH?

  http://www.cs.uml.edu/~mbrown/iSCSI/

Re: iSCSI support for Linux??

[Beihong Wu]

The one is the UNH one. I have already had it and investigated it. As you
said it has no authentication either. Faking the server side is not a
problem for me. What I need most is the implementation of the authentication
on the server side.

Thank you,

RE: iSCSI support for Linux??

[Nitin Dhingra]

I tested Cisco's code
it has not implemented naming,
it is also faking the server side,
he is using swap file to simulate scsi disk.

no authentication also

any comments on this one let me know...

UNH is faking on the server side and moreover it is not supporting
any security.

RE: iSCSI support for Linux??

[Nitin Dhingra]

Hi Ben,
	That is a pretty old iscsi draft that you have pointed to.
The latest iscsi draft ver 7 is available from ietf.org
I have about 5 different code's for iScsi 

1) by Cisco : 
		I checked the code I guess this one is 
		working on both client and server Code 

2) by Intel : 
		I checked the code faked on the server side
		and was based on iscsi draft ver 3.

3) by UNH : 
		I checked the code faked on the server side
		and was based on iscsi draft ver 3.

4) by Chris Loveland : 
		I checked the code faked on the server side
		I don't remember right now where I got this one's code from
			
5) by Ashish A. Palekar : 
		I checked the code I guess this one is 
		working on both client and server Code 
		and was based on iscsi draft ver 3.
		I don't remember where I got this one's code from


I guess cisco's code has also implemented authentication & security.
I think someone gave you the links and you must have d/l by now.
I guess by the end this year end there will be support for iScsi in 
Linux Kernel.

    Ben> Does anyone know of any efforts to support iSCSI in Linux?

I know of three iSCSI initiator (ie host-side, not storage-side)
software projects:

  Cisco: <http://linux-iscsi.sourceforge.net/>
  Intel: <http://sourceforge.net/projects/intel-iscsi/>
  UNH:   <http://www.cs.uml.edu/~mbrown/iSCSI/

Cisco's and UNH's software is GPLed, Intel is using a BSD-type
license.
