: SCST Target driver support for Emulex lpfc FC/FCoE adapters

Hi All,

I'm glad to announce that SCST target driver support for Emulex lpfc FC/FCoE adapters has been created and linked to the SCST project. Thanks to the Emulex team for putting this together.

The driver allows for lpfc adapters to be placed in initiator and/or target mode. Those in initiator mode will continue to function with the SCSI subsystem as usual. A lpfc_scst helper module is then loaded that binds that target mode adapters with the SCST subsystem for use as FCP targets. NPIV is also supported, allowing virtual ports to be created with individual SCST target instances bound to them.

The lpfc SCST driver kit is part of the lpfcxxxx SourceForge project located at https://sourceforge.net/projects/lpfcxxxx. You can find its README and HOWTO in http://lpfcxxxx.sourceforge.net/README and http://lpfcxxxx.sourceforge.net/HOWTO.lpfc correspondingly.
