ISCSI_INITIATOR(4)					   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 					ISCSI_INITIATOR(4)

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
     This driver, along with its userspace counterpart iscontrol(8), is obsolete.  Users are advised to use iscsi(4) instead.

     The iscsi_initiator implements the kernel side of the Internet SCSI (iSCSI) network protocol standard, the user land 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.

     kern.cam.cam_srch_hi=1    allow search above LUN 7 for SCSI3 and greater devices.

     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    is the targe name of session n.

     net.iscsi.n.targeaddress  is the IP address of the target of session n.

     net.iscsi.n.stats	       are some statistics for session n

     net.iscsi.n.pid	       is 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.
