This device driver provides the SCSI target side of the "virtual
SCSI" on IBM Power5 systems.  The initiator side has been in mainline
for a while now (drivers/scsi/ibmvscsi/ibmvscsi.c.)  Targets already
exist for AIX and OS/400.


Please try to integrate that with the generic scsi target framework at
http://developer.berlios.de/projects/stgt/.



There hasn't been a lot of forward progress on stgt in over a year, and
there were some issues (lack of scatterlist support, synchronous and
serial command execution) that were an issue when last I looked.

Vlad, can you comment on the state of stgt and whether you see it
being ready for mainline any time soon?


Sorry, I can see on stgt page only mail lists archive and not from start (from Aug 22). Mike, can I see stgt code and some design description, please? You can send it directly on my e-mail address, if necessary.


goto the svn page for the code
http://developer.berlios.de/svn/?group_id=4492

As for design desc, I do not have anything. It is the evolving source :) We are slowly merging leasons we learned from open-iscsi, your SCST code, the available software and HW targets, and the SCSI ULD's scatterlist code which needs redoing so it is a bit of a mess.
