NAME
iscsi_discovery - discover iSCSI targets SYNOPSIS
iscsi_discovery <IP> [-p <port>] [-d] [-t <tcp|iser> [-f]] [-m] [-l] DESCRIPTION
Perform send-targets discovery to the specified IP. If a discovery record is generated, try to login to the portal using the preferred transport (-t flag specifies the requested transport type, TCP is the default). If login using a certain transport succeeds, mark the por- tal for automatic login (unless -m flag is used), and disconnect (unless -l flag is used). For iSCSI discovery to work, open-iscsi services must be running. i.e. iscsid should be up, and the iSCSI modules loaded. This is best accomplished by the init.d startup script. [-p=]port-number set the port number (defualt is 3260). [-d] print debugging information. [-t=]transport-type set transport (default is tcp). [-f] force specific transport - disable the fallback to tcp (default is fallback enabled). force the transport specified by the argument of the -t flag. [-m] manual startup - will set manual startup (default is automatic startup). [-l] login - login to the new discovered nodes (defualt is false). AUTHOR

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.
