Hi All,

I'm glad to announce that SCST 3.0 has just been released. This release includes SCST core, target drivers iSCSI-SCST for iSCSI, including iSER support (thanks to Mellanox!), qla2x00t for QLogic Fibre Channel adapters, ib_srpt for InfiniBand SRP, fcst for FCoE and scst_local for local loopback-like access as well as SCST management utility scstadmin. Also separately you can download from Emulex development portal stable and fully functional target driver for the current generation of Emulex Fibre Channel adapters.

SCST is alternative SCSI target stack for Linux. SCST allows creation of sophisticated storage devices, which provide advanced functionality, like replication, thin provisioning, deduplication, high availability, automatic backup, etc. Majority of recently developed SAN appliances, especially higher end ones, are SCST based. It might well be that your favorite storage appliance running SCST in the firmware.

More info about SCST and its modules you can find on: http://scst.sourceforge.net

Thanks to all who made it happen!

Vlad
