NAME

6       iscsid - Open-iSCSI daemon
7

SYNOPSIS

9       iscsid [OPTION]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  iscsid  implements  the  control path of iSCSI protocol, plus some
13       management facilities. For example, the daemon could be  configured  to
14       automatically  re-start  discovery at startup, based on the contents of
15       persistent iSCSI database.
