   Not surprising that it's x86 only, but that's disappointing.  It was stated   
   other places that iSCSI is dependent on TCP/IP V7.0 so that means no   
   backporting to Integrity or Alpha.  It was a long shot but it would be nice.    
   Without iSCSI I don't think    
   there is any real practical way of hardware sharing disk drives - not MSCP   
   shared.  x86 can do FC but that requires dedicating a HBA to each VM Guest.    
   Hardly practical unless you have a server with a lot of PCIe slots or very few   
   OpenVMS guests.
