lot of time doing research on this , but don't know where to start. If you are
into Storage domain. an you suggest me something that would secure me
a development job in this domain ?

Scsi is not a good place to start your kernel experience.
Anyway, within the scsi stack you have:
scsi parallel
sas (serial attached scsi)
usb (transports scsi commands if you did not know. Then a SAT chip
converts it to ATA typically.)
iScsi (no hardware needed, so this might be a good place to start experimenting)
FCoE (Requires a FC switch, so this is expensive)
and even libata (for sata drivers) is currently a scsi subsystem
And I'm sure I missed a few.
I assume you are interested in writing a scsi parallel driver? That
is dying technology I believe. The future is SAS, but parallel might
be a good starting point. I really don't know how I would go about
learning the scsi stack.
