I think iSCSI target support is now a standard
Linux iSCSI feature. If not standard, at least reasonably mainstream. I haven???t tried
it, but I see plenty of references to it on the Linux iSCSI mailing list.
Are they running old tape devices on it?

How would you connect old tapes to iSCSI? There are modern tapes with Fibre SCSI
interfaces but would you actually connect the thing up....

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
device that speaks iSCSI out the front and has ATA (or SATA) disks.
