NAME
iscsictl -- iSCSI initiator management utility
SYNOPSIS
iscsictl -A -p portal -t target [-u user -s secret]
iscsictl -A -d discovery-host [-u user -s secret]
iscsictl -A -a [-c path]
iscsictl -A -n nickname [-c path]
iscsictl -M -i session-id [-p portal] [-t target] [-u user] [-s secret]
iscsictl -M -i session-id [-n nickname [-c path]]
iscsictl -R [-p portal] [-t target]
iscsictl -R -a
iscsictl -R -n nickname [-c path]
iscsictl -L [-v]
DESCRIPTION
The iscsictl utility is used to configure the iSCSI initiator.
The following options are available:
-A Add session.
-M Modify session.
-R Remove session.
-L List sessions.
-a When adding, add all sessions defined in the configuration file. When removing, remove all currently established sessions.
-c Path to the configuration file. The default is /etc/iscsi.conf.
-d Target host name or address used for SendTargets discovery. When used, it will add a temporary discovery session. After discovery is
done, sessions will be added for each discovered target, and the temporary discovery session will be removed.
-i Session ID, as displayed by iscsictl -v.
-n The "nickname" of session defined in the configuration file.
-p Target portal - host name or address - for statically defined targets.
-s CHAP secret.
-t Target name.
-u CHAP login.
-v Verbose mode.
Certain parameters are necessary when adding a session. One can specify these either via command line (using the -t, -p, -u, and -s
options), or configuration file (using the -a or -n options). Some functionality - for example mutual CHAP - is available only via configu-
ration file.
Since connecting to the target is performed in background, non-zero exit status does not mean that the session was successfully established.
Use iscsictl -L to check the connection status.
Note that in order for the iSCSI initiator to be able to connect to a target, the iscsid(8) daemon must be running.
Also note that FreeBSD currently supports two different initiators: the old one, iscsi_initiator(4), with its control utility iscontrol(8),
and the new one, iscsi(4), with iscsictl and iscsid(8). The only thing the two have in common is the configuration file, iscsi.conf(5).
FILES
/etc/iscsi.conf iSCSI initiator configuration file.
EXIT STATUS
The iscsictl utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

Disconnect all iSCSI sessions:
iscsictl -Ra
