Kind of fun to play with. Is there an equivalent in SATA / SAS land? If there is, is there a well supported PCI-(E/X) board out there that I could play with?

Kind of fun to play with. You should look at the scst http://scst.sourceforge.net/ project. That is where the target mode fun happens. If your serious get a qla22xx card, that appears to be the best supported by the project. > > Is there an equivalent in SATA / SAS land?

I can tell you though that the MPT driver isn't exactly stable for SPI.. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

I've not heard of anyone doing that so far. The MPTSAS drivers you 'll find in the kernel tree are intiator mode only. We have a driver called mptstm, supplied to various customers. Its a target mode driver. I can supply that per request. Mike Christie, during OLS, mentioned to me that he could later add target support, as his done for iscsi, qlogic, other vendors, later this year for fusion. I forgot what the name of the project for that, but its not scst. WRT, mptspi, Pls advise me on any instability issues. Thanks, Eric Moore ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

I've not heard of anyone doing that so far. One of the scst project members has a port of some LSI MPT target drivers to scst. They are here http://bj.soulinfo.com/%7Ehugang/scst/tgt/. I've been trying to get them working with a 53c1030 series LVD card and they don't get past exporting basic inquiry data. The contact for the drivers hasn't responded to any of my email's either, and the main project doesn't support them. > The MPTSAS drivers you 'll find in the kernel tree are intiator mode only. > We have a driver called mptstm, supplied to various customers.

If you are still interested in SCSI target mode driver for fusion, you can take a look at the new version of the Hu Gang's driver, developed by Erik Habbinga, which is just made available from SCST SVN. You can get anonymous access there using: svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/scst Vlad ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
