- I come back with the same question I posted a few days ago:
-
- Does the SCSI driver of the SUNs implement the full SCSI
- protocol (including the ability to act alternatively as
- an initiator and as a target) ?
-
- If you have worked with Asynchronous Event Notification (AEN), you
- have most probably looked into it (the target becomes the initiator
- to send the data to the master, as they arrive).
-
- So far, I got two opposite answers:
-
- According to cummings@falcon.natinst.com, the SUN driver CANNOT be
- used as a target.

- According to root@di.epfl.ch,

-
- (After further investigations, it looks like it is possible, as SUN
- fully implements the SCSI norm. People from SUN read news about it,
- but did not store them...)
-
- If you remember about those news, please mail me or re-post them.
-
- I need to get an answer, as it would be very interesting to use this
- feature, if it is available.
-
-
- Thank's for mailing me your answers, I'll post a summary of them.
