iSCSI support on Solaris

807559Sep 27 2004 — edited Jan 5 2006
A recent article on Search Storage asserts that Solaris 10 will support iSCSI. Is this true or just another journalistic fantasy?

True...though I would have said, "A version of Solaris 10".

I have seen several threads that have suggested that a version of Solaris 10 will support iSCSI. Can you tell me your best estimate of when that "version" of Solaris 10 will become available ?

Also, I have seen several threads that have suggested that support for iSCSI on Solaris 10 is up to the manufactures of the adapters to create device drivers that are compliant with Solaris 10 ( i.e. Cisco ). Can you please comment on what is meant by Solaris 10 will "support" iSCSI, and what part of that "support" is left up to the manufactures of the devices interfacing with Solaris 10 ( i.e. device drivers )

Solaris 10 Update 1 will have iSCSI Software Initiator Support. In addition future s10 update releases will extend the iSCSI Software initiator support with features like boot, iSNS, etc. We have already extended beyond what Cisco's Solaris iSCSI initiator was supporting by plumbing into the IO stack in a location capable of supporting volume managers better, SCSI MPxIO support, better TCP performance, etc.

Is iSCSI supported by Sun Cluster. Any plan to integrate iSCSI Target software with Solaris or OpenSolaris versions.

Thanks,
