this is part 2, but it seems related:
iSCSI on the cheap: Turn your Windows server into an iSCSI storage target .
You can also browse the author's bio section to see if you see it...this isn't an easy process, but may be the only way to easily find it.

Yes, this is just what I've been looking for...depending on part 2.
Nice post! As far as software for the SAN, I used Openfiler which is a browser-based network storage software distribution. Installed it on an old DELL Poweredge with 6x 300gb SCSI disks and turned it into a nice iSCSI SAN box (RAID 5 gave me about 1.4TB!). Added Dual GB nics, gb switches which I then connected to 2 VMWARE ESXi hosts (free again though limited to certain features) and have a super cool lab. (you can bond multiple NICs in Openfiler for added performance fyi)
