Win 2008 Cluster SCSI-3 commands

[cphastings]

Since Windows Server 2008 R2 will introduce Cluster Shared Volumes, this feature won't really matter - correct?

We haven't performed all the tests yet so I won't be able to respond as of yet until nearing the release date.

SCSI-3 PR is necessary in R2 too!

March release could happen near the end of March or mid April, this our ETA for this feature.

Do you already know the ETA?

Sorry that I don't as the engineers needed more time to add a few more items and I won't know until they inform us that they are satisfied with the results. We don't want to rush this out until they approve it.

Hi,

Out of curiosity (if you can share this info), are you implementing the LIO target, or are you writing additional support for the persistent reservations in SCST?

Thanks!

[To-M]

It is SCST.

After doing a little bit of googling, it seems that open-e is responsible for making qlogic fibre channel workable as a target under SCST (see http://scst.sourceforge.net/target_qla_isp.html ). On behalf of everyone who uses open source software, thanks open-e!

Also, it looks like some people at open-e have made contributions to the latest linux kernel, 2.6.29, so thanks for that!

This is just one reason among many to choose Open-E: they make contributions to open-source software, and that helps everybody.

Many thanks for the comments! We could use many as our engineers really try hard and for a small company they try harder to compete as best we can

I don't mean to bother, but has there been any update to this? I am incredibly excited about the possibility of SCSI-3 PR's!
