    Open-E has moved to SCST and the status of the SRP target for infiniband is not clear for that project.
    If you google, "ofed SRP target" you get a link to a howto document, but I'm not sure what kind of mileage you'll get.
    Someone on this thread has already commented on IPoIB for replication and says it seems fast. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, they should be treated like regular eth* interfaces.

    Actually, I mispoke, It's not the SRP target that's uncertain it's the iSER target. Sorry for the confusion.

    As far as I can tell, SRP works perfectly fine with the SCST drivers.

    You said Open-E has moved to SCST - can you clarify this?

    Are you suggesting that Open-E may indeed support SRP targets in the short term?

    Sorry for the confusion. I was thinking about the iSER target...

    I can't speak directly for open-e so it's not really possible for me to answer if they will or won't do anything. HOWEVER... since the iSCSI target since v6 has been SCST based, the product can support an SRP target. I'm pushing for SAS myself..
