NetWare 6.5 includes iSCSI intiator and target software. iSCSI is an emerging standard for SCSI block storage protocols networked over high-speed TCP/IP networks. iSCSI lets you create a low-cost Storage Area Network (SAN) using commodity high-speed Ethernet hardware. NetWare iSCSI initiator software is installed and configured on servers in the SAN that will be used to access shared storage. 8/2/04 Rebuilt to link to correct product. ----------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER THE ORIGIN OF THIS INFORMATION MAY BE INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL TO NOVELL.
