I run USL SVR4 4.0.4 on my vintage gear with excitement; it brings me joy. Self-hosting SVR4 is fun. FreeBSD is an awesome SCSI target for SVR4, especially with a RAIDZ backing store.

Wasn't this SVR4 based Unix/NS released back in '91? I'm just curious, why they didn't go with SVR4.2 / UnixWare (first released in '92) later, and what was their upgrade path?

Honest question from armchair Unix archaeologist 😎

I believe you're right, if memory serves me NCR Unix was SVR4.2. What I meant with my post it that it was a direct derivative from AT&T SVR4 and it was actually marketed as AT&T-NCR. I started with the company in 1997 but they were using those machines for many years, judging from the dust mice inside.
 
many years ago at an ISP I had to connect a Linux server of mine to a storage provided over iscsi, but with no success.
I remember installing openindiana just to test this connection and everything worked flawlessly from the first try :)
