NAME
iscsiadm - enable management of iSCSI initiators SYNOPSIS
iscsiadm subcommand direct-object [options] [operand] The iscsiadm command enables management of the iSCSI (Internet SCSI) initiator on a host. iscsiadm is implemented as a set of subcommands, many with their own options, which are described in the section for that subcommand. Options not associated with a particular subcommand are described under . The iscsiadm command supports the following subcommands, which are described in detail in subsections that follow: add Adds element(s) to an object. list Lists element(s) of an object. modify Modifies attributes of an object. remove Removes an element from an object. The iscsiadm subcommands operate on a direct-object. These are described in the section for each subcommand. add Subcommand The syntax for the add subcommand is: # iscsiadm add direct_object [operands...] The add subcommand adds the following direct_objects: discovery-address discovery-address [...] Adds a target to a list of discovery addresses. A discovery address (as in the syntax shown below) is an IP address:port combination used in a SendTargets discovery session. Using this discovery approach, a target device can inform an initiator of the target address and target name of each target exposed by that device. Connection to a target is not attempted unless the SendTargets method of discov- ery has been enabled on the host. You enable this method with the modify subcommand. The discovery-address parameter is formatted as: <IP address>:[port] If port is not specified, the default of 3260 will be used. static-config static_target [...] Adds a target to the list of statically configured targets. A connection to the target will not be attempted unless the static configu- ration method of discovery has been enabled. The static_target parameter is formatted as: <target-name>,<target address>[:port-number][,tpgt] <target-name> can be up to 223 characters. list Subcommand The syntax for the list subcommand is: # iscsiadm list direct-object [options] The list subcommand displays data for the following direct-objects: discovery Lists the discovery methods and their current activation state, enabled or disabled. Discovery methods are: o Static o SendTargets initiator-node Lists information for the initiator node on the host. The iSCSI initiator node represents a logical HBA and is a logical host connec- tion point for iSCSI targets. The parameter values listed in the response are default parameter settings for the initiator. Each con- nected target for an initiator can have parameter values that differ from the parameter values on the initiator node. static-config [static_target[, ...]] Lists the target name and address for specified targets or, if no static targets are specified, all statically discovered targets. target [-S] [-v] [target[, ...]] Lists a target's current parameters, connection state, and which method was used for the target's discovery. Reports information for specified targets or, if no targets are specified, all targets that have been discovered or have had parameters modified by the modify target subcommand. When used with the -S option for a specified target, this subcommand returns: o target name o logical unit number o vendor ID o product ID o OS device name (for example, /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s0) The -v options gives more details, such as the current login parameters, the detailed connection information, and the discovery method used to discover the target. A return of NA is for the discovery method parameter indicates that the target was created with a iscsiadm modify target-param command and does not exist as a discovered object. To remove such targets, use iscsiadm remove target-param. target-param [-v] target [...] Lists a target's default and user-defined parameters. discovery-address [-v] discovery-address[, ...]] Lists the discovery-address objects that have been added using the iscsiadm add discovery-address subcommand. When used with the -v option, lists all known targets at a specified discovery-address. The -v option returns one or more target names along with zero or more target addresses and associated target portal group tags (TPGT), if applicable. modify Subcommand The syntax for the modify subcommand is: # iscsiadm modify direct_object [options] The modify subcommand supports the following direct_objects: discovery [options] Enabling a discovery method initiates a discovery using that method. Disabling a discovery method that is currently enabled does not affect connections to any targets that have already been discovered by that method. Options for modify discovery are as follows: -s, --static enable | disable Enable or disable static discovery. -t, --sendtargets enable | disable Enable or disable SendTargets discovery. initiator-node [options] Modifies an initiator's properties. If a target is currently connected, this operation can succeed. However, the modified set of param- eters will not be in effect for that target until an existing connection session no longer exists and a new connection has been estab- lished. The options -C and --CHAP-secret require a CHAP secret entry in response to a prompt. Options for modify initiator are as follows: -A, --node-alias <initiator node alias> Modifies the initiator node alias. Maximum length of 223 characters. -C, --CHAP-secret Sets the CHAP secret value. There is no default value. Minimum required length is 16 characters. -N, --node-name <initiator node name> Modifies the initiator node name. Maximum of 223 characters. Note - During Solaris installation, the initiator node name is set to a globally unique value. Changing this value can adversely affect operation within the iSCSI network. -R, --radius-access enable | disable Sets whether a RADIUS server will be used. -P, --radius-shared-secret (exclusive) Sets the RADIUS shared secret. -H, --CHAP-name CHAP name Specifies a CHAP username. If you do not use this option, upon initialization, the CHAP name is set to the initiator node name. When the authentication method is set to CHAP (see -a/--authentication option, above), the CHAP username is displayed with the com- mand iscsiadm list initiator-node. -a, --authentication chap | none Sets the authentication mode. -d, --datadigest none | CRC32 Sets whether CRC32 is enabled to check SCSI data transfers. -h, --headerdigest none | CRC32 Sets whether CRC32 is enabled to check SCSI packet headers. -r, --radius-server <IP address>[:<port>] Sets the IP address and port of the radius server to be used. target-param [options] target Modifies a target's parameters. If a target is currently connected, the modify operation will succeed, although the modified settings might not take effect for a few seconds. To confirm that these settings are active, use iscsiadm list target -v. If a specified target is not associated with any discovery method, a target object is created with the specified parameters. After using this command to mod- ify a target's parameters, the new parameters will persist until they are modified or removed with a iscsiadm remove target-param com- mand on that target. The options -C and --CHAP-secret require a CHAP secret entry in response to a prompt. Options for modify target-param are as follows: -d, --datadigest none | CRC32 Sets whether CRC32 is enabled or disabled for the data. -h, --headerdigest none | CRC32 Sets whether CRC32 is enabled or disabled for the header. -p, --login-param Specify one or more login parameter settings. Note - These values should only be modified by an administrator with a good working knowledge of the parameter's impact within the iSCSI network. The login parameters are derived from iSCSI proposed standard RFC 3720. Valid values are: dataseqinorder yes or no defaulttime2retain 0-3600 defaulttime2wait 0-3600 firstburstlength 512 to 2**24-1 immediatedata yes or no initialr2t yes or no maxburstlength 512 to 2**24-1 datapduinorder yes or no maxoutstandingr2t 1 to 65535 maxrecvdataseglen 512 to 2**24-1 -B, --bi-directional-authentication enable | disable Sets the bidirectional option. If set to enable, the initiator performs bidirectional authentication for the specified target. -C, --CHAP-secret Sets the target's CHAP secret value. There is no default value. remove Subcommand The syntax for the remove subcommand is: # iscsiadm remove direct_object The remove subcommand supports the following direct_objects: static-config static_target, ... Removes a target from the list of statically discovered targets. If the target being removed is currently connected, the remove opera- tion will succeed, however, the connection to the target will persist until a reboot or the target connection is lost. static_target must be formatted as: <target-name>,<target-address>[:port-number][,tpgt] There are no options associated with this direct object. discovery-address discovery-address, ... Removes a target device from the list of discovery addresses. A discovery address (as in the syntax shown below) is an IP address-port combination used in a SendTargets discovery session. Using this discovery approach, a target device can inform an initiator of the tar- get address and target name of each target exposed by that device. If any target exposed by the discovery address is currently con- nected, the remove discovery-address operation will succeed, however, the connection to the target will persist until a reboot or until the target connection is lost. discovery-address must be formatted as: <IP address>[:<port>] There are no options associated with this direct object. target-param target-name Removes target specified by target-name. The target name is formatted as: <target-name> Proper Use of Discovery Methods Do not configure a target to be discovered by both static and dynamic discovery methods. The consequence of using redundant discovery meth- ods might be slow performance when communicating with the iSCSI target device. The following generic options are supported: -V, --version Displays version information. Stops interpretation of subsequent arguments. -?, --help Displays help information. Can be used following an iscsiadm command with no arguments, following a subcommand, or following a subcom- mand-direct object combination. Responds with help information appropriate for your entry. For example, if you enter: # iscsiadm modify initiator-node --help ...iscsiadm responds with a display of the options available for that combination of subcommand and direct object.
