8 [-p port number] [-s maximum number of sessions]
9 [-t target name] [-v verbose arg]
10
12 iscsi-target is the server for iSCSI requests from iSCSI initiators.
13 iscsi-target listens for discovery and login requests on the required
14 port, and responds to those requests appropriately.
15
16 Options and operands available for iscsi-target:
17
18 -4 iscsi-target will listen for IPv4 connections, and respond back
19 using IPv4. This is the default address family.
20
21 -6 iscsi-target will listen for IPv6 connections, and respond back
22 using IPv6.
23
24 -b blocksize
25 Specify the underlying block size for iSCSI storage which will be
26 served. The possible sizes are: 512, 1024, 2048, and 4096 bytes,
27 with the default being 512 bytes.
28
29 -D When this option is specified, iscsi-target will not detach

31 This can be useful for debugging purposes.
32
33 -f configfile
34 Use the named file as the configuration file. The default file

50 -V iscsi-target will print the utility name and version number, and
51 the address for bug reports, and then exit.
52
53 -v argument
54 The amount of information shown can be varied by using this com‐
55 mand. Possible values of argument are net to show network-
56 related information, iscsi to show iSCSI protocol-related infor‐
57 mation, scsi to show SCSI protocol information, and all to show
58 information from all of the above arguments.
59
61 /etc/iscsi/targets the list of exported storage
62 /var/run/iscsi-target.pid the PID of the currently running iscsi-target
