6 iscsi - iSCSI software initiator driver and service
7
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.
