Hello,

is it possible to expose an HP 1x8 G2 Autoloader with is connected with SCSI over iSCSI to another Server?

Our problem is that the HP ProLiant DL380 G3 does not support the autoloader on it's external SCSI port (due to the problem that the SmartArray 5i only supports one LUN and the Autloader needs 2). So if it would be possible to expose the autoloader from another server which has the proper SCSI support (but we can not use to install the backup software) via iSCSI and connect to it from the DL380 we could spare some money for an additional SCSI Card ....

Thank's for any feedback,

best

Raimund

Try iSCSI-SCST iSCSI target (http://iscsi-scst.sourceforge.net/) in
pass-through mode.
