It is done. My quest to get a scanner to working over iSCSI is complete.

I can now safely claim that Chris on SuperUser is wrong. There is nothing stopping you from having scanners running over a storage network.

This has been one of my dumbest, expensive and time consuming projects.

Just a bunch of scanners (JBOS?)

Can you run scanners over iSCSI?

@xssfox @hypebot reminds me of when we cobbled together SAS-to-iSCSI adapters with LTO6 drives and a library, mounted that on a VM that ran Windows 2003 and a copy of Legato Networker that only knew about LTO4, and it worked without any issues. Solid standards rock :)

@vmexell @xssfox @hypebot at a past job we got a bunch of old DLT and other drives connected from a tape room in another building to servers in our on-prem datacenter by tunneling it over iSCSI like that.
Couldn't see any reason why it wouldn't work, so we just did it and it worked great!
