If you have an iSCSI target on an OS that takes the SCSI commands and converts them to
device I/O calls for that OS, it ?should? just work. That?s no different from a storage

How would you connect old tapes to iSCSI? There are modern tapes with Fibre SCSI

Are they running old tape devices on it?
Tape? Not that I know of. In principle iSCSI can handle tape, but I don?t
know if it?s been done at all, never mind in Linux.
