In fact, we've got both a better much iSCSI daemon in OpenSolaris today, and we're working on placing that into a Solaris 10 update. I'd very much like to hear about how exactly you were trying to use iSCSI so we can ensure we can compete for your business in the future, and deliver a better experience for everyone. If you're willing, please contact me at dan (dot) roberts (at) sun (dot) com as I'd love to hook you up with the right folks.

You can also look at <a href="http://dnfstorage.com/products.asp/section/Product~Categories/category/Apple~Storage~Solutions""DNF's StorMacX"</a> to go on top of your Xserve. This will give you everything you need for snaps, and cloning. Or look at StoneFly IP SANs too. Not as well known, but <a href="www.stonefly.com/solutions" "StoneFly SANs" </a> are stable and have been around for a while. Thanks for you post on Thumper. We are pretty intrigued at my company to see how it plays out, but we have been busy working on some other projects. Good luck on your SAN hunt. How do you like the Tiger initiator?
