The primary focus was to + introduce support for iSER (iSCSI over RDMA) in both the + initiator and the target. Prerequisite for this was merging + some common parts together and implementing a workaround for the + lack of iSER support in userspace. Apart from that, there were + a myriad of smaller improvements. Such as creating more + user-friendly administration utilities, for example + <tt>iscsictl(8)</tt> which displays SCSI device nodes for each + iSCSI session. This escapes the user from getting the same + information through <tt>camcontrol(8)</tt>. But there are + improvements in logging and manual pages as well.</p> + + <p>Once the iSER support becomes stable, the work will focus on + performance optimizations. The plan is to commit both the new + initiator and target in August to allow shipping them in 10.0. + The project will continue with implementing support for software + iWARP stack (useful mostly for testing and development), SCSI + passthrough and various other improvements.</p> + + <p>This project is being sponsored by the &os; Foundation.</p> + </body> + + <help> + <task>Performance optimization.</task> + <task>Merge to &os; <tt>head</tt>.</task> + </help> + </project> </report>
