Preface ® ® ® ® Starting with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL™) 6.2 and Novell SUSE Linux ® Enterprise Server (SLES ) 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.
