RE: [openib-general] [iSER]How to use the iSER with the UNH iSCSI

[Yaron Haviv]

Ian,

Currently the UNH iSCSI doesn’t support the "Datamover API" which is a new API 
defined in IETF and enable iSCSI to run over offload technologies such as iSER

In addition the iSER code that is in OpenIB covers the Initiator side 
The Target code is (and being) integrated into few commercial products, or can 
be provided under some licensing  

There are few that intend to enable the datamover API in the UNH iSCSI and 
integrate it with iSER, they would be happy to see more helping hands, if you 
are interested I can hook you up with them

RE: [openib-general] [iSER]How to use the iSER with the UNH iSCSI

[Or Gerlitz]

Ian,

Few things:

- drops (eg dapl_beta2.06) of the SF dapl do not realy work "as is" this is as 
of the lack of 
  code that interacts with real IB AT (Address Translation) and CM 
(Communication Manager)

- before gen2, each dapl provider (MLX, TS, ICON, Voltaire etc) used the SF 
dapl as base line
  and implemented the code in dapl (dapl_xx_cm.c) to call their AT and CM plus 
other enhancments

- eg iSER was tested with the Voltaire kDAPL which was a derivative of the SF 
dapl 

- with openib gen2, the kDAPL implementation at 
https://openib.org/svn/gen2/trunk/src/linux-kernel/infiniband/ulp/kdapl/
  has the code to work with the gen2 AT and CM 

- we (Voltaire) are now in the process to send few patches to the gen2 kdapl 
that allow for iSER 
  to work over the gen2 kdapl - you can see this over the list

- to use the UNH iSCSI target with iSER, i guess you need to approach UNH

Or.
