Logo?

Is there an official iSCSI logo?
An extension to the 45degree square, perhaps?

Regards,

StarWind does internal filtering. So NO 1:1 command delivery.

P.S. There are a lot of technical reasons why do this.
Thanks Anton,

I can now relax! I think that confirmation brings this line of investigation to a successful conclusion.
Many, many thanks for all your help.

Is the StarWind SPTI "truly" transparent?

Hi all, My basic (read simple) understanding of the SCSI Pass Through Interface (SPTI), is that all SCSI commands issued at the initiator will be transferred to the target device? The corollary of this, I assume, is that any response from the target device should be returned to the initiator. In add...

Re: ATTN: SPTI mode (especially for tape drives sharing)

and for Rocket Division Software StarPort the value is: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Services\StarPort\Parameters] MaxBufferSize DWORD = 0x10000 Hi Anton, Only a minor point, but I think the path given may be wrong? There is a \control\ to many! I think it should be: [HKEY_L...

I have a question: are you trying to reserve/release a scanner?
Hi Anton, …. Are you psychic? Or is it just a good memory<grin>?

Unfortunately, we Bsc students don’t have the luxury to become disinterested ;-) gota come up with some sort of conclusion, you know!

StarWind and RESERVE/RELEASE?

Hi, I note that in the FAQ (Q18) http://www.rocketdivision.com/faq.html?pr_id=2 that for devices connected with the SPTI, StarWind should redirect all RESERVE/RELEASE op-codes directly to the device. However, I'm not sure that this is happening? I am using StarWind 3.5.1 and StarPort 3.5.4 and the f...

I guess because sharing SCSI scanner is the task quite far away from the mainsteam... We don't even have device here to test :) I could lend you some. I think I must have cornered the market in SCSI scanners from eBay!!! Anyway. My next problem has arrived. Why are the icons and Type different? \\....

... and so it is!!

Working a treat now. Thanks for a VERY rapid response.
Can I push my luck just a bit further? Why would the scanner not be auto-detected like the CD, Discs, Tapes etc?

Is it a problem with my scanner or the way the SPTI auto-detect works?

Regards,

Martin

Using a scanner via SPTI

[quote="anton (staff)"]Nice to hear this. Not so many people use our software for scanners :-) Hi Anton, I have gotten round to having a look at scanners via your SPTI function now. And guess what? I've run into a small problem at the first hurdle! I (believe I) have a SCSI scanner correct...

It's 1st bit of the 5th byte in the "mechanical options" page. Hi Anton, Thank you for the correction. Very Helpful. I don't suppose I could press you for a reference (www.t10.org/<something>)? What if you mount the same drive locally (where initiator runs)? I'm away for awhile now. I'd l...

Hi Anton, Thank you for the advice. Swapped to the trial StarPort: no difference. However, I think I may be chasing a "non-event"? I now, don't think that the "Digital CD Playback" flag is a property of the CD-ROM (and retrievable from the drives firmware)? On investigation, I th...

Have to work just fine. It's only a SCSI command to play/stop. Passed completely transparently from initiator side to the target. Thank you for a prompt reply. However, could I ask you to expand? Are you saying that it is only the CD transport commands (such as play/stop) that are passed over the i...

Digital CD Playback?
