Adaptec iSCSI ASA-7211C/ASA-7211F
Am I right in assuming this TOE card ( Adaptec iSCSI ASA-7211C/ASA-7211F )
is infact only an offload engine, and not a complete iSCSI Target in hardware? /charles

I concur. Looking through the datasheet it says "tested with multiple iSCSI targets", leading me to believe it's not a target in itself. It strikes me as somewhat odd, you'd think there would be several vendors out with iSCSI targets on a board. The only one I found generally available was the Qlogic 4010, and I have no idea how good is. /charles

You can use those cards as ISCSI INITIATORs, never as targets. Marco Rinaudo.
