NAME
iscsi-target -- service remote iSCSI requests SYNOPSIS
iscsi-target [-46DV] [-b block length] [-f configuration file] [-p port number] [-s maximum number of sessions] [-t target name] [-v verbose arg] DESCRIPTION
iscsi-target is the server for iSCSI requests from iSCSI initiators. iscsi-target listens for discovery and login requests on the required port, and responds to those requests appropriately. Options and operands available for iscsi-target: -4 iscsi-target will listen for IPv4 connections, and respond back using IPv4. This is the default address family. -6 iscsi-target will listen for IPv6 connections, and respond back using IPv6. -b blocksize Specify the underlying block size for iSCSI storage which will be served. The possible sizes are: 512, 1024, 2048, and 4096 bytes, with the default being 512 bytes. -D When this option is specified, iscsi-target will not detach itself from the controlling tty, and will not become a daemon. This can be useful for debugging purposes. -f configfile Use the named file as the configuration file. The default file can be found in /etc/iscsi/targets. See targets(5) for more informa- tion. -p port number Use the port number provided as the argument as the port on which to listen for iSCSI service requests from initiators. -s maximum number of sessions Allow the maximum number of sessions to be initiated when connecting to the target. -t filename The target name (as it appears to the iSCSI initiator) can be specified using this flag. -V iscsi-target will print the utility name and version number, and the address for bug reports, and then exit. -v argument The amount of information shown can be varied by using this command. Possible values of argument are net to show network-related information, iscsi to show iSCSI protocol-related information, scsi to show SCSI protocol information, and all to show information from all of the above arguments.

NAME
iscsi -- iSCSI initiator SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in the kernel configuration file: device iscsi Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): iscsi_load="YES" DESCRIPTION
The iscsi subsystem provides the kernel component of an iSCSI initiator. The initiator is the iSCSI client, which connects to an iSCSI tar- get, providing local access to a remote block device. The userland component is provided by iscsid(8) and both the kernel and userland are configured using iscsictl(8). The iscsi subsystem is responsible for implementing the "Full Feature Phase" of the iSCSI protocol. SYSCTL VARIABLES
The following variables are available as both sysctl(8) variables and loader(8) tunables: kern.iscsi.ping_timeout The number of seconds to wait for the target to respond to a NOP-Out PDU. In the event that there is no response within that time the session gets forcibly restarted. kern.iscsi.iscsid_timeout The number of seconds to wait for ctld(8) to establish a session. After that time iscsi will abort and retry. kern.iscsi.login_timeout The number of seconds to wait for a login attempt to succeed. After that time iscsi will abort and retry. kern.iscsi.maxtags The maximum number of outstanding IO requests. kern.iscsi.fail_on_disconnection Controls the behavior after an iSCSI connection has been dropped due to network problems. When set to 1, a dropped connection causes the iSCSI device nodes to be destroyed. After reconnecting, they will be created again. By default, the device nodes are left intact. While the connection is down all input/output operations are suspended, to be retried after the connection is reestablished. SEE ALSO
