Openfiler

Openfiler is an open-source "storage management operating system" that takes the Linux OS and makes it into a SAN controller. It can all be configured with a web browser. It can act as both SAN or NAS. It supports multiple iSCSI targets with multiple LUNs.

A Step-By-Step OpenFiler tutorial by David Davis: “Use OpenFiler as your Free VMware ESX SAN Server“ and how to configure for a static IP.

Another free option: StarWind. Their free version supports up to 2TB.
