Using MYSAN - Any experiences? Whats the Catch?

The Computer Dood

I have been using the Nimbus MYSAN software on my 2003 box. I have set
up several partitions, and attached to them both, using the MS
Initiator. I can only set up exclusive (Single Target to Single
Initiator). I assume I could share the ISCSI Volume on my ISCSI
Initiator, and then distribute the data that way.

Does anyone have any comments? I haven't used ISCSI on a production
environment. Am looking hard at SUSE Linux, setting up the ISCSI target
software that I saw. MYSAN seems pretty stable. And Free (I guess)?

What is the business model? Is there some other piece of the puzzle I
should be looking at? Just want your thoughts...thanks!
