Open Fabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED)
STGT/iSER target in OFED 1.4 Release Notes
December 2008
* Background
iSER allows iSCSI to be layered over RDMA transports (including InfiniBand
and iWARP (RNIC)). Linux target framework (tgt) aims to simplify various SCSI
target driver (iSCSI, Fibre Channel, SRP, etc) creation and maintenance.
tgt supports the following target drivers (among othets)
- iSCSI software (tcp) target driver for Ethernet/IPoIB NICs
- iSER software target driver for Infiniband and RDMA NICs
For iSCSI and iSER tgt consists of user-space daemon, and user-space
tools. That is, no special kernel support is needed other than the
kernel (and user space) RDMA stacks.
The code is under the GNU General Public License version 2.
This package is based on a snapshot (clone) of the tgt git tree taken
on August 28th, 2008
* Supported platforms
RHEL 5 and its updates
SLES 10 and its service-packs
The release has been tested against the Linux open iscsi initiator
