As with all hardware and software there is a chance that EOL comes into play. I don’t blame you at all - hey I still want updates and support for my Windows NT 4.0 server or my Novell 3.x server but I know this will not happen.
Not all is lost!!! I have an update for the Target IP Access. Please send me an email and I will forward this onto to you. Just update thru the Web GUI.
The USB is far superior in many ways compared to the IDE DOMs. Faster, 4 times the capacity and quicker updates.
I just loaded iSCSI Enterprise 1.72 build (newly configured) and the MaxBurstLength is set to 262144 in "Tuning -> iSCSI Daemon Options" and this is the same for DSS, iSCSI-R3 Enterprise as well.
Concerning the MaxRecvDataSegmentLength - The default value should be 8192 not the maximum value 262144.
Not sure about the "Mac OSX Initiator Support" issue as we have many customers working.
There is even a member in the forum who is working fine without issues.
Not sure if you new this but 3Ware had a big issue in there knowledge base about the 9550 and 9560’s. I had several customer call me to let me know as soon as they changed to Areca they improved drastically.
Don't forget to email so I can give you the update to fix the IP issues -
