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).

NAME

       iscsid - Open-iSCSI daemon

SYNOPSIS

       iscsid [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

       The  iscsid  implements the control path of iSCSI protocol, plus some management facilities. For example, the daemon could be configured to
       automatically re-start discovery at startup, based on the contents of persistent iSCSI database.

OPTIONS

       [-c|--config=]config-file
	      Read configuration from config-file rather than the default /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file.

       [-i|--initiatorname=]iname-file
	      Read initiator name from iname-file rather than the default /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi file.

       [-f|--foreground]
	      run iscsid in the foreground.

       [-d|--debug=]debug_level
	      print debugging information. Valid values for debug_level are 0 to 8.

       [-u|--uid=]uid
	      run under user ID uid (default is the current user ID)

       [-g|--gid=]gid
	      run under user group ID gid (default is the current user group ID).

       [-n|--no-pid-file]
	      do not write a process ID file.

       [-p|--pid=]pid-file
	      write process ID to pid-file rather than the default /var/run/iscsid.pid

       [-h|--help]
	      display this help and exit

       [-v|--version]
	      display version and exit.

FILES

       /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf
	      The configuration file read by iscsid and iscsiadm on startup.

       /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi
	      The file containing the iSCSI initiatorname and initiatoralias read by iscsid and iscsiadm on startup.

       /etc/iscsi/nodes
	      Open-iSCSI persistent configuration database
