ISCSI-TARGET(8)		  BSD System Manager's Manual	       ISCSI-TARGET(8)

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
	     information.

     -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 con‐
	     necting 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 com‐
	     mand.  Possible values of argument are net to show network-
	     related information, iscsi to show iSCSI protocol-related infor‐
	     mation, scsi to show SCSI protocol information, and all to show
	     information from all of the above arguments.

FILES
     /etc/iscsi/targets		the list of exported storage
     /var/run/iscsi-target.pid	the PID of the currently running iscsi-target

SEE ALSO
     targets(5)

HISTORY
     The iscsi-target utility first appeared in NetBSD 4.0.
