Yes you can , but actually it's still 'techonology preview' as stated in
the Upstream Release Notes ...
You'll need to install the package scsi-target-utils and configure
everything with the tgtadm command : there is no config file that is
read by the /etc/rc.d/init.d/tgtd initscripts so you have to write a
bash scripts that will be read on startup to do the whole work.
If you have already played with iscsi, using tgtadm is not really
difficult but i admit also that i'm only using it for tests in labs.
Production machines are using FC HBAs ;-)
