I can see how iSCSI simplifies configurations of disk farms, etc. Does it aid or simplify backup or sharing of data? Does it make it easier to deploy higher end more reliable disk farms?

Can i boot off of iSCSI?

Can you boot windows XP over an iSCSI harddrisk (in order to have diskless workstation) ?

You can't, AFAIK, currently boot using iSCSI initiator since the network card would have to have some sort of iSCSI initiator built into it, much like network carks have PXE boot capability built in. It's certainly possible, though, technology-wise...

So where would a small independent consultant get some iSCSI equipment to experiment with without having to sell a body part for it?

All you need is two peices of software. You need a machine running Windows 2000 or higher (including XP), and the iSCSI initiator I mentioned in the last paragraph of the post.

On the machine that hold the drive or partition or folder you want to share out as a LUN, you need to get the stringbean wintarget software (http://www.stringbeansoftware.com, 14 day free trial). You one machine for the target, one machine for the initiator and then you need to start playing. Very low cost barrier to entry.

"Fibre" is the correct spelling in general... at least in countries where we speak "English English" :P

PXE Boot of iSCSI array(s) - Does any anyone know if Microsoft will support boot of PXE or is there an ISCSI HBA vailable for Blades? If we talk about serverless blades when will it it happen if they can't boot of PXE and Microsoft today.

Today, iSCSI boot is supported with Adaptec, QLogic and Intel iSCSI HBAs.

You can reference this web-chat:

Microsoft is currently looking at the possibility of supporting iSCSI Network
Boot using standard Gigabit ethernet NICs, but do not have firm plans at this time

FYI most distros of Linux have both the target software and the initiator software on board.(read free as in no $, no trial time bomb) The man pages are very informative and the doc files have sample configs for different types of setup.....VERY quick 'n'easy to configure...
