I'm glad to announce that version 1.0.0 of target drivers for QLogic Fibre Channel cards released and available for download from http://scst.sourceforge.net/downloads.html.

Two target drivers were released:

- Target driver qla2x00t for 22xx and 23xx based QLogic Fibre Channel
cards

- Target driver qla_isp for 24xx based QLogic Fibre Channel cards

Those drivers are designed to work in SCST environment. They are high performance drivers, which provide all necessary functionality to work as targets in Fibre Channel environment.

Detail description of the target drivers you can find on SCST home page http://scst.sourceforge.net.

Driver qla2x00t is being prepared in form of patch for review and inclusion into the kernel.

Cool. I'm looking forward to figuring out how to enable ATA target mode in a similar manner... sata_mv and some ahci chips support ATA target mode.

Actually, I forgot to mention that there are two more target drivers available for download as well. One of them can be especially interested for you, because it should work with SAS (I have a report with coming CDBs from this transport, but have no hardware to check).

- Target driver for InfiniBand SRP
http://scst.sourceforge.net/target_srp.html

- Target driver for LSI/MPT cards
http://scst.sourceforge.net/target_lsi.html. This driver was developed for parallel SCSI, but also should work with SAS and Fibre Channel transports.

They can be downloaded from the SCST SVN by using command:

$ svn co https://scst.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/scst

They were not released as a separate packages, because their authors preferred that.
