.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm iscsi
|
|
.Nd iSCSI initiator
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel,
|
|
place the following line in the
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "device iscsi"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
|
|
module at boot time, place the following line in
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
iscsi_load="YES"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
subsystem provides the kernel component of an iSCSI initiator,
|
|
responsible for implementing the Full Feature Phase of the iSCSI protocol.
|
|
The initiator is the iSCSI client, which connects to an iSCSI target,
|
|
providing local access to a remote block device.
|
|
The userland component is provided by
|
|
.Xr iscsid 8
|
|
and both the kernel and userland are configured using
|
|
.Xr iscsictl 8 .
|
|
.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
|
|
The following variables are available as both
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
variables and
|
|
.Xr loader 8
|
|
tunables:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Va kern.iscsi.debug
|
|
Verbosity level for log messages from the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver.
|
|
Set to 0 to disable logging or 1 to warn about potential problems.
|
|
Larger values enable debugging output.
|
|
Defaults to 1.
|
|
.It Va kern.iscsi.ping_timeout
|
|
The number of seconds to wait for the target to respond to a NOP-Out
|
|
PDU.
|
|
In the event that there is no response within that time the session gets
|
|
forcibly restarted.
|
|
Set to 0 to disable sending NOP-Out PDUs.
|
|
Defaults to 5.
|
|
.It Va kern.iscsi.iscsid_timeout
|
|
The number of seconds to wait for
|
|
.Xr iscsid 8
|
|
to establish a session.
|
|
After that time
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will abort and retry.
|
|
Defaults to 60.
|
|
.It Va kern.iscsi.login_timeout
|
|
The number of seconds to wait for a login attempt to succeed.
|
|
After that time
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will abort and retry.
|
|
Defaults to 60.
|
|
.It Va kern.iscsi.maxtags
|
|
The maximum number of outstanding IO requests.
|
|
Defaults to 255.
|
|
.It Va kern.iscsi.fail_on_disconnection
|
|
Controls the behavior after an iSCSI connection has been dropped due to
|
|
network problems.
|
|
When set to 1, a dropped connection causes the iSCSI device nodes
|
|
to be destroyed.
|
|
After reconnecting, they will be created again.
|
|
By default, the device nodes are left intact.
|
|
While the connection is down all input/output operations are suspended, to be
|
|
retried after the connection is reestablished.
