Hi ....
I have gone thr' documents that discribe Target Emulator or that type
of software layer.
I have LSI22320-R with LSI1030 and LSI1030T (Two Cards). I also have
driver Tekram (Initiator Card).
Now I joind Tekram and LSI card with external scsi cable. Connection was
done and disk also exposed from LSI Card to Tekram.
Basically LSI card that i have contains Inititator/Target mode firmware.
So What i want to do , to make LSI card to run in only Target Mode. For
that , Can i write a kernel module that can read incomming scsi
commands from any initiator card (here Tekram) to the LSI card. and that
module will invoke the firware on the LSI card intead directly by commnads ?
What i think here that i have to do low level i..e card level programming to
get these scsi commands , is it possible / feasible ?
Regrads,
Nikhil.
