iSCSI Software Initiator for Alpha Servers running Tru64 5.1

[Alice Daniel]

Does anyone have any idea where (or if) there is any HP product to perform iSCSI software initiation such that an ethernet port will be viewed as a SCSI interface?

[DCBrown]

There is no product from HP for iSCSI support on Tru64.

Okay, does anyone know if there is any Fibre Channel hardware available for Tru64 v5.1b on Alpha Servers (ES45 or ES40)?

Or where I can go to get this type of info.

Alice,

Yes, Fibre Channel hardware is available for Tru64 v5.1b on Alpha Servers ES45 or ES40 (HP retired system, no support), we will have to find good resellers for the support.

Fyi,

HP supports iSCSI cont. in some of their Storageworks (ex: MSA1510i - Modular Smart Array ).
