iSCSI clients

The iSCSI client allows Microsoft(R) Windows(R) NT, and Microsoft Windows 2000, and Linux computers to access storage over an IP network. The iSCSI client (as an iSCSI initiator) issues SCSI commands to the (an iSCSI target) according to the IETF-defined protocol for IP storage.

When the iSCSI client is successfully connected to an iSCSI target device, any disks assigned to the iSCSI client appear as a physical disk. (Operations normally performed on a physical SCSI disk can be performed on an iSCSI disk.) Currently, you cannot boot from an iSCSI disk; instead, the iSCSI disk is used for storage after the computer is booted.

You can download the iSCSI client code from the following web site:
