<p>The native kernel iSCSI target and initiator project progressed
well over the April to June period. The primary focus was to
introduce support for iSER (iSCSI over RDMA) in both the
initiator and the target. Prerequisite for this was merging
some common parts together and implementing a workaround for the
lack of iSER support in userspace. Apart from that, there were
a myriad of smaller improvements. Such as creating more
user-friendly administration utilities, for example
<tt>iscsictl(8)</tt> which displays SCSI device nodes for each
iSCSI session. This escapes the user from getting the same
information through <tt>camcontrol(8)</tt>. But there are
improvements in logging and manual pages as well.</p>
<p>Once the iSER support becomes stable, the work will focus on
performance optimizations. The plan is to commit both the new
initiator and target in August to allow shipping them in 10.0.
The project will continue with implementing support for software
iWARP stack (useful mostly for testing and development), SCSI
passthrough and various other improvements.</p>
<p>This project is being sponsored by the &os; Foundation.</p>
