external storage on netware ?

[hellbeach]

Hello everyone
I have a need... I would like to add some extra storage to my network, and be able to mount this storage for users which logs into novell, but I don´t wanna spend a fortune buying a NAS or SAN which works from the box. What other options do I have ?
Lets say I have plenty of IDE disk, a comp to put them in, and an open mind, what should I do ? Install windows 2003 storage server to set up a NAS ? or are there other ways ?

iSCSI on NetWare. Don't use Windows for anything more than you have to, okay?

Man, you guys need to start asking some hard questions again.

the windows nas would cost you more than the san

is iSCSI only available for NW 6.5 ?

You have to put the Target (Where the storage space is) on a NetWare 6.5 server. You can have the intiator (the device using the Storage space) on a NetWare 6.0 server, and I think it will even work on a 5.1 server.


You can also use a Net Appliance with iScsi capabilities and attach with a NetWare server in the same way.
