Question
How I could connect linux with solaris?
Answer
Critics of iSCSI expect worse performance than Fibre Channel due to the overhead added by the TCP/IP protocol to the communication between client and storage. However new techniques like TCP Offload Engine (TOE) help in reducing this overhead. Tests have shown excellent performance of iSCSI SANs, whether TOEs or plain Gigabit Ethernet NICs were used. In fact, in modern high-performance servers, a plain NIC with efficient network driver code can outperform a TOE card because fewer interrupts and DMA memory transfers are required. Initial iSCSI solutions are based on a software stack. The iSCSI market is growing steadily, and should improve in performance and usability as more organizations deploy Gigabit and 10 Gigabit networks, and manufacturers integrate iSCSI support into their operating systems, SAN products and storage subsystems. iSCSI becomes even more interesting since Ethernet is starting to support higher speeds than Fibre Channel.
