Does anyone have any recommendations for the best way to bring up a iSCSI Target on a C5.3+ server ? Various blogs suggest compiling IET from source, but thats not real appealing to me (not that I can't do it, I just don't want to have to support it long term). I looked in rpmforge but didn't see anything.

You can also look at the tech-preview TGT implementation included in CentOS 5.3. Install the scsi-target-utils package and maybe look at http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-setup-linux-iscsi-target-sanwith-tgt.html or similar (Google) for inspiration. -Alan
