NAME

6       iscsi - iSCSI software initiator driver and service
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The  iscsi driver is a software initiator that transports SCSI commands
10       over TCP/IP as described in RFC 3720.
11
12
13       The initiator driver is administered through  iscsiadm(1M).  The  iscsi
14       initiator  service  is  managed  by  the  service  management facility,
15       smf(5), under the following FMRI:
16
17         svc:/network/iscsi/initiator:default
18
19
20
21
22       The iscsi initiator acts as a host adapter  driver  that  attaches  the
23       appropriate target driver, for example, sd(7D) for disks, or st(7D) for
24       tapes) for devices it discovers. See the System  Administration  Guide:
25       Devices and File Systems for more information.
26
27
28       Once  enabled,  the iscsi initiator service ensures the right timing to
29       start the discovery and enumeration of iSCSI devices during  boot,  but
30       it  doesn't  guarantee  the  success  of  discovery  for  certain iSCSI
31       devices. If the service is disabled, iscsi driver stops  the  discovery
32       and enumeration of iSCSI devices and also tries to offline all existing
33       iSCSI devices. iscsiadm(1M) works only when the service is enabled.
34
35
36       iSCSI boot(1M) is not affected by the status  of  the  iscsi  initiator
37       service.
