Overview
IBM vSCSI is based on a fabric module from Tomonori Fujita from NTT Labs. The fabric module (ibmvscsis.ko) for LIO currently remains out-of-tree.
Modules
lsmod output:
Module Size Used by ibmvscsis 22024 4 libsrp 9242 1 ibmvscsis scsi_tgt 15597 1 libsrp target_core_file 10766 1 target_core_mod 266898 10 ibmvscsis,target_core_file configfs 33950 2 target_core_mod
targetcli
targetcli from Datera, Inc. is used to configure vHost targets. targetcli aggregates LIO service modules via a core library, and exports them through an API, to provide a unified single-node SAN configuration shell, independently of the underlying fabric(s).

LIO Admin Manual The Template:OS Admin Manual provides comprehensive background and many examples on using targetcli and on programming the target library. |
Acknowledgements
The IBM vSCSI driver was made possible by Tomonori Fujita's generous contributions to tcm_ibmvscsis.
