* Background
- iSER allows iSCSI to be layered over RDMA transports (including InfiniBand
- and iWARP (RNIC)).

- The OpenFabrics iSER initiator implementation is interoperable with open-iscsi
- (http://www.open-iscsi.org/). It provides an alternative transport to
- iscsi_tcp in the open-iscsi framework. The iSER transport exposes a
- transport API to scsi_transport_iscsi, and a SCSI LLD API to the Linux
- SCSI mid-layer (scsi_mod). Currently, the OpenFabrics iSER initiator can be
- layered over InfiniBand (no iWARP support yet).

* Installation/upgrade of open-iscsi
- If iSER is selected to be installed with OFED, open-iscsi will be also
- installed (or upgraded if another version of open-iscsi is already installed).
- Installing/upgrading open-iscsi is required for iSER to work properly.
