.Dd October 9, 2014 .Dt ISCSI_INITIATOR 4 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm iscsi_initiator .Nd kernel driver for the iSCSI protocol .Sh SYNOPSIS To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: d -ragged -offset indent .Cd "device iscsi_initiator" .Ed
p Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in .Xr loader.conf 5 : d -literal -offset indent iscsi_initiator_load="YES" .Ed .Sh DESCRIPTION f -symbolic This driver, along with its userspace counterpart .Xr iscontrol 8 , is obsolete. Users are advised to use .Xr iscsi 4 instead. .Ef
p The .Nm implements the kernel side of the Internet SCSI (iSCSI) network protocol standard, the user land companion is .Xr iscontrol 8 , and permits access to remote .Em virtual SCSI devices via .Xr cam 4 . .Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES l -tag -width ".Va net.iscsi.n.targeaddress" t Va debug.iscsi_initiator set the debug-level, 0 means no debugging, 9 for maximum. t Va net.iscsi.isid the initiator part of the Session Identifier. t Va "kern.cam.cam_srch_hi=1" allow search above LUN 7 for SCSI3 and greater devices. t "the following are informative only:" t Va net.iscsi.driver_version the current version of the driver. t Va net.iscsi.sessions the number of current active sessions. t Va net.iscsi.n.targetname is the targe name of session .Em n . t Va net.iscsi.n.targeaddress is the IP address of the target of session .Em n . t Va net.iscsi.n.stats are some statistics for session .Em n t Va net.iscsi.n.pid is the .Em "process id" of the userland side of session .Em n , see .Xr iscontrol 8 . .El .Sh FILES The .Nm driver creates the following:
p
l -tag -width ".Pa /dev/iscsi%dxx" -compact t Pa /dev/iscsi used to create new sessions.
t Pa /dev/iscsi%d for each new session.
