initiators use standard TCP/IP stack and Ethernet hardware, while iSCSI HBA(s) use their own iSCSI and TCP/IP stacks on board. Hardware iSCSI HBA(s) provide its own initiator tool. Please refer to the vendors' HBA user manual. Microsoft, Linux, Solaris and Mac provide iSCSI initiator driver. Please contact DLINK for the latest certification list.
