The native kernel iSCSI target and initiator project progressed + well over the April to June period. 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 + iscsictl(8) which displays SCSI device nodes for each + iSCSI session. This escapes the user from getting the same + information through camcontrol(8). But there are + improvements in logging and manual pages as well.

+ +

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.
