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.
16

OPTIONS

18       [-c|--config=]config-file
19              Read configuration from  config-file  rather  than  the  default
20              /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file.
21
22       [-i|--initiatorname=]iname-file
23              Read  initiator  name  from  iname-file  rather than the default
24              /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi file.
25
26       [-f|--foreground]
27              run iscsid in the foreground. Implies --no-pid-file.
28
29       [-d|--debug=]debug_level
30              print debugging information. Valid values for debug_level are  0
31              to 8.
32
33       [-u|--uid=]uid
34              run under user ID uid (default is the current user ID).

36       [-g|--gid=]gid
37              run  under  user group ID gid (default is the current user group
38              ID).
39
40       [-n|--no-pid-file]
41              do not write a process ID file. Conflicts with  the  --pid=  op‐
42              tion.
43
44       [-p|--pid=]pid-file
45              write  process  ID to pid-file rather than the default /run/isc‐
46              sid.pid. Conflicts with the --no-pid-file option.
