) 11 SP2, the QLogic qla4xxx driver (iSCSI driver for 

Linux) supports the Open-iSCSI tool iscsiadm. As a result, iscsiadm can now 

be used to perform management functions (configuring network settings, 
managing iSCSI targets, and so on) on QLogic 4000 Series 1GbE iSCSI Adapters 
and 8200 Series 10GbE Converged Network Adapters. 

This document describes the differences between the legacy (IOCTL-based) and 
Open-iSCSI management models of the QLogic qla4xxx driver, and provides 

brief guidelines for migrating from the legacy to the Open-iSCSI model.

This preface specifies the intended audience, lists related documents, describes 
the typographic conventions used in this guide, and provides technical support 
and contact information.

The remainder of this user’s guide is organized into the following chapters:



 describes the major differences between 

the legacy driver which has an IOCTL-based interface for user space 
application communications, and the Open-iSCSI model.



 provides information on configuring Boot from 

SAN (BFS) when migrating to the Open-iSCSI model.



 provides a User’s Guide for 

Open-iSCSI.



 provides a list of currently known issues.

This document is intended for end users who manage QLogic 4000 Series iSCSI 
adapters or 8200 Series Converged Network Adapters on Linux (RHEL 6.2, SLES 
11 SP2, or later), using the IOCTL-based management model.
