I guess the storage server doesn't need TOE if it has fast processors
and/or SMP. Is it unrealistic to expect to have a Windows server
which can fulfill several roles including hosting an iSCSI target?


the only way i can think of to connect DAS storage as an iSCSI target
would be if the DAS was fibre channel DAS & you used an iSCSI bridge,
currently the only was i know of to distribute iSCSI, on a "zoned" off
portion of it to deliver this storage through the bridge, over the LAN
to your iSCSI clients

or you could probably use a Linux program to turn a server & it's DAS
into an iSCSI target but this is something that i am not familiar with


DataCore (www.datacore.com) and FalconStor (www.falconstor.com) can both
take any disk attached to a standard x86 server and serve it ups as FC or
iSCSI targets.
