Is there one? If so where can it be found? I have the 10.20 CD set but I don't think that there's an iSCSI initiator on there.
Thank you

Hello,
I am trying to breakdown the cXtXdX (specifically tX) part of an iscsi device.
I know in the fibre SAN world, this tX will usually be a combination of the path to device/device WWN.
From what I understand in iscsi world it is similar, breaking down into... (0 Replies)

DESCRIPTION
libiscsi is a library interface to the iSCSI target and initiator. This conforms to IETF RFC 3720. The corresponding command line utilities
for libiscsi are iscsi-initiator(8) and iscsi-target(8).
In normal operation, a process acting as a target (i.e. presenting storage to the network) will call iscsi_target_set_defaults() and will
then set various values using the iscsi_target_setvar() function. The value of a variable can be retrieved at any time using the
iscsi_target_getvar() function. When all of the variables have been set, the iscsi_target_start() function is called, and the block storage
will be served up by the process.
A useful illustration of the use of these functions can be found in the source code to the iscsi-target(8) utility.
The libiscsi library also provides an implementation of the client end of the iSCSI subsystem, which is known as the initiator. The process
acting as an initiator will first call the iscsi_initiator_set_defaults() function, to set default values for the initiator variables. Once
all the values have been set to the user preferences using the iscsi_initiator_setvar() function, then the iscsi_initiator_start() function
is called.
The libiscsi library can be used to perform iSCSI device discovery by calling the iscsi_initiator_discovery() function. This will return a
list of all the iSCSI targets which are serving up block storage according to the variables which have already been set.
SEE ALSO
iscsi-initiator(8), iscsi-target(8)
HISTORY
The libiscsi library first appeared in NetBSD 4.0. This programmatic interface to the iSCSI subsystem first appeared in NetBSD 6.0.
