Øystein,
This isn’t as difficult as it may seem. You can download/demo all of the software you need to try to bake this for yourself here: https://www.studionetworksolutions.com/products/product_detail.php?pi=15 but please check out this video to see if you want to tackle this on your own!

I’m the CEO/CTO for SNS – and designed this software, so I can say with complete confidence that it will provide you with a solid option. We created the globalSAN Xtarget iSCSI target software ($899) for this purpose exactly. Many of our customers have old Promise arrays and even some old Xserve RAIDs that they’d like to repurpose for compressed workflows using their existing GbE network.

With Xtarget, you can download the 14-day demo and try this for yourself. It’s pretty straight forward – in that you connect your array via FC to a Mac, then use Xtarget to share the LUNs created on the array via Xtarget. At that point, that Mac is now an iSCSI server that is ready to share your Vtrak over the gigabit network. Your next decision is to determine what kind of traffic cop software you want to use. Xsan is compatible with Xtarget so if you want multiple writers to a single LUN, that’s the best option, but if block-level (one writer/many readers) is ok for your workflow, we sell iSANmp for $199 per seat. I hope this helps – but if you get stuck – SNS has a phone install support for globalSAN Xtarget as well.

Thanks,
Gary
