NAME

     iscsi_initiator -- kernel driver for the iSCSI protocol

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   device iscsi_initiator

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   iscsi_initiator_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The iscsi_initiator implements the kernel side of the Internet SCSI (iSCSI) network protocol standard.  The userland companion is
     iscontrol(8), and permits access to remote virtual SCSI devices via cam(4).

SYSCTL VARIABLES

     debug.iscsi_initiator	set the debug-level, 0 means no debugging, 9 for maximum.

     net.iscsi.isid		the initiator part of the Session Identifier.

     The following are informative only:

     net.iscsi.driver_version	the current version of the driver.

     net.iscsi.sessions 	the number of current active sessions.

     net.iscsi.n.targetname	the target name of session n.

     net.iscsi.n.targedaddress	the IP address of the target of session n.

     net.iscsi.n.stats		statistics for session

     net.iscsi.n.pid		the process id of the userland side of session n, see iscontrol(8).

FILES

     The iscsi_initiator driver creates the following:

     /dev/iscsi      used to create new sessions.
     /dev/iscsi%d    for each new session.
