Re: Fedora iscsi
Well, the QLA4xxx works OK, but you need to use the QLogic tools which are woefully out of date. Once you have it setup it works nicely. Thank´s Konrad... I have been studing the PCI Express for higher volume information throughput. And the iscsi Qlogic´s HBA model is the QLE4xxx, instead of QLA4xxx. Do you have any expirience about it It is the same chipset. Just a different form-factor. ? Would this work as well as the QLA4xxx for Fedora environment ? Yes. The qla4xxx driver supports both form-factors and both port-options (dual or single port). --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups open-iscsi group.

So, do you think that I´m in the right direction, when I say that I´m going to create my own repository with some proprietary hardware and free software? Or it could be a bad trip...

What is it that you are intending to do? If you are just looking to use iSCSI I would recommend you first play with the Open-ISCSI initator (I presume you already have an iSCSI target?). If you want no CPU load when doing iSCSI, then the hardware HBA's are the choice. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups open-iscsi group.

So, I already tested the open-iscsi target and iniciator on a fedora box. The results were not so good, the best result were with a fedora target and windows XP iniciator. I do not think I have ever heard that result before. For fedora target do you mean, scsi-target-utils rpm that comes with fedora or is it a IET/iscsi-target based rpm? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups open-iscsi group.

Unfortunately I don´t have it... I tested it at the end of last year, and a used the package that came with fedora at that time. But I clearly remember that with XP it was transparently and worked fine. And from linux to linux I had some little problems to even make it work out. So I wrote to the list, and somebody told me that there was some problem with the iniciator package for linux... -- Marcos G. M. Santos SysAdmin - DIGILAB S.A.
