The itadm command manages Internet SCSI (iSCSI) target nodes within the SCSI Target Mode Framework described by libstmf(3LIB). This allows the iSCSI initiators to access STMF logical units using the iSCSI protocol. In addition to iSCSI target nodes, itadm manages two other classes of managed objects: iSCSI Target Portal Groups, and iSCSI Initiator Node Contexts. itadm is implemented as a set of subcommands with options and operands for each subcommand. These subcommands are described in their own section, below. In addition to its subcommands, itadm has a help command, which displays the utility's usage information. The help command is invoked with the -? option. iSCSI Target Portal Groups An iSCSI Target Network Portal is an IP address and TCP port that can be used by an initiator node to connect to an iSCSI target. A collec- tion of such portals represents a Target Portal Group (TPG). TPGs can be used to limit access to an iSCSI target through certain network interface cards. A TPG is identified by a unique name provided when the TPG is created. A numerical "Target Portal Group Tag" from the range 2-65535 is automatically generated when the TPG is created. The Target Portal Group Tag 1 is reserved for the "default" target portal group that is used when no explicit Target Portal Groups are set on the target. The portal for the default TPG matches requests from all network interfaces on port 3260. iSCSI Initiator Node Contexts Certain operations such as authentication by means of Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) require parameters associated with a remote iSCSI Initiator Node. These parameters are associated with an iSCSI Initiator Node Context. An iSCSI Initiator Node Context is identified by its Initiator Node Name, formatted in either IQN or EUI format (see RFC 3720). For example: iqn.1986-03.com.sun:01:e00000000000.47d55444 eui.02004567A425678D Specifying IP Addresses A number of itadm subcommands require that you specify one or more IP addresses with optional port numbers. For IPv4, use standard dotted decimal notation. For IPv6, enclose addresses in square brackets. The following are example specifications. IPv4: 10.2.4.1[:3260] IPv6: [1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A][:3260] SUB-COMMANDS The following are the itadm subcommands with their options. itadm create-target itadm create-target [-a,--auth-method radius | chap | none | default] [-s,--chap-secret] [-S,--chap-secret-file path] [-u,--chap-user chap-user-name] [-n,--node-name target_node_name] [-l,--alias alias] [-t,--tpg tpg-name[,tpg-name,...]] Create a iSCSI target with the specified options. Options are as follows. -a,--auth-method radius | chap | none | default Specifies the authentication method to use for the target. Valid values are radius, chap, and none. chap indicates that initiators con- necting to this target must be authenticated using the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP). radius indicates initiators should also be authenticated by means of CHAP but the required authentication parameters should be obtained from a central RADIUS server (see the radius-server and radius-secret options). none means that no authentication is required to connect to the target. default means the target will use the global setting of this property. (See the modify-defaults subcommand.) -s,--chap-secret The CHAP secret to send during mutual CHAP authentication. There is no default for this property. Maximum length is 255 characters; minimum required length is 12 characters. -S,--chap-secret-file path Path to a temporary file containing the CHAP secret as described in the -s option. -u,--chap-user chap-user-name Specifies the CHAP username for a target for use in mutual CHAP authentication. This value is allowed only for targets, cannot be set globally, and is used only when the initiator node is configured to use mutual CHAP authentication. If no value is specified then the target node name is used as the username. See iscsiadm(1M). -n,--node-name target_node_name An iSCSI Target Node is identified by its Target Node Name, formatted in either IQN or EUI format (see RFC 3720). This option estab- lishes that name. -l,--alias alias An alternate identifier associated with a target node. The identifier does not need to be unique. -t,--tpg tpg-name[,tpg-name,...] A list of Target Portal Group (TPG) identifiers that specifies the TPGs that an initiator can use to access a specific target or the keyword default. If default is specified, the target will use the default portal, INADDR_ANY:3260. itadm modify-target itadm modify-target [-a,--auth-method radius | chap | none | default] [-s,--chap-secret] [-S,--chap-secret-file path] [-u,--chap-user chap-user-name] [-n,--node-name new_tgt_node_name] [-l,--alias alias] [-t,--tpg tpg-name[,tpg-name]] target_node_name Modify an iSCSI target according to the specified options. Options are as follows. -a,--auth-method radius | chap | none | default As described under the create-target subcommand, above. -s,--chap-secret As described under the create-target subcommand, above. -S,--chap-secret-file path As described under the create-target subcommand, above. -u,--chap-user chap-user-name As described under the create-target subcommand, above. To remove an explicitly set CHAP username use -u none. -n,--node-name target_node_name Renames the target. See also the description of -n under the create-target subcommand, above. -l,--alias alias As described under the create-target subcommand, above. To remove an explicitly set alias use -l none. -t,--tpg tpg-name[,tpg-name,...] As described under the create-target subcommand, above. itadm list-target itadm list-target [-v,--verbose] [target_node_name] List information about the configured targets. If target_node_name is specified, list only the information for that target. Option is as follows. -v,--verbose Verbose mode. itadm delete-target itadm delete-target [-f,--force] target_node_name Delete the target specified by target_node_name. The target must be offline before it can be deleted. Option is as follows. -f,--force If the target persists in an online state, this option attempts to offline the target before deleting it. itadm create-tpg itadm create-tpg tpg_name IP-address[:port]... Create an iSCSI target portal group made up of the specified portals and assign it the identifier tpg_name. Each portal is an IP address and port pair. IPv4 portals are specified in dotted address notation, for example, 172.31.255.255. IPv6 portal addresses must be enclosed in square brackets. This subcommand has no options. itadm list-tpg itadm list-tpg [-v,--verbose] [tpg_name] List information about the configured target portal group. If tpg_name is specified then list only the information about the target portal group associated with that tpg_name. Option is as follows. -v,--verbose Verbose mode. itadm delete-tpg itadm delete-tpg [-f,--force] tpg_name Delete the target portal group associated with tpg_name. Option is as follows. -f,--force If the TPG is associated with any targets, the request to delete will be denied unless this option is specified. itadm create-initiator itadm create-initiator [-s,--chap-secret] [-S,--chap-secret-file path] [-u,--chap-user chap-user-name] initiator_node_name Configure parameters associated with the remote initiator named initiator_node_name. Options are as follows. -s,--chap-secret As described under the create-target subcommand, above. -S,--chap-secret-file path As described under the create-target subcommand, above. -u,--chap-user chap-user-name Specifies the CHAP username for an initiator, for use in CHAP authentication. If no value is specified then the initiator node name is used as the username. itadm modify-initiator itadm modify-initiator [-s,--chap-secret] [-S,--chap-secret-file path] [-u,--chap-user chap-user-name] initiator_node_name Modify parameters associated with the remote initiator named initiator_node_name.

Options are as follows. -a,--auth-method radius | chap | none Specifies the default authentication method to use for all targets. Valid values are radius, chap, and none. chap indicates that ini- tiators connecting to this target must be authenticated using Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP). radius indicates ini- tiators should also be authenticated by means of CHAP, but the required authentication parameters should be obtained from a central RADIUS server. (See --radius-server and --radius-secret options.) none means that no authentication is required to connect to the tar- get. Individual targets can override this global setting using the -a option of the create-target and modify-target subcommands. -d,--radius-secret RADIUS Shared Secret for centralized CHAP authentication. -D,--radius-secret-file path Path to a temporary file containing the CHAP secret as described in the -d option. -i,--sns enable | disable Specifies whether targets should be registered with the set of defined iSCSI Name Service (iSNS) servers. -I,--isns-server IP-address[:port][,IP-address[:port],...] Defines a list of iSNS servers with which iSCSI target nodes will be registered when the isns option associated with the respective target is set. Up to eight iSNS servers can be specified. To remove all iSNS servers, use -I none. itadm list-defaults itadm list-defaults List information about the default properties. This subcommand has no options. EXAMPLES
