iscsi.conf — iSCSI
initiator configuration file
The iscsi.conf configuration file is used
by the iscsictl(8) and
iscontrol(8)
utilities. The general syntax is:
# this is a comment
nickname_1 {
variable = value;
...
}
nickname_2 {
variable = value;
...
}
...
AuthMethod- Sets the authentication type. Type can be either
"None", or
"CHAP". Default is
"None". When set to
CHAP, both chapIName and
chapSecret must be defined.
chapIName- Login for CHAP authentication.
chapSecret- Secret for CHAP authentication.
tgtChapName- Target login for Mutual CHAP authentication.
tgtChapSecret- Target secret for Mutual CHAP authentication.
- Sets the header digest; a checksum calculated over the header of iSCSI
PDUs, and verified on receive. Digest can be either
"None", or
"CRC32C". Default is
"None".
DataDigest- Sets the data digest; a checksum calculated over the Data Section of iSCSI
PDUs, and verified on receive. Digest can be either
"None", or
"CRC32C". Default is
"None".
InitiatorName- Sets the initiator name. By default, the name is concatenation of
"iqn.1994-09.org.freebsd:" with the
hostname.
TargetName- Sets the target name. Not required for discovery sessions.
TargetAddress- Sets the target address and port, in
address[:port]
format. The
address
can be either an IP address, or hostname. The optional port defaults to
3260.
SessionType- Sets the session type. Type can be either
"Discovery", or
"Normal". Default is
"Normal". For normal sessions, the
TargetName must be defined. Discovery sessions result in
the initiator connecting to all the targets returned by SendTargets iSCSI
discovery with the defined TargetAddress.
Enable- Enable or disable the session. State can be either
"On", or
"Off". Default is
"On".
Offload- Name of selected iSCSI hardware offload driver. Default is
"None".
Protocol- Name of selected protocol. It can be either
"iSER", for iSCSI over RDMA, or
"iSCSI". Default is
"iSCSI".
dscp- The DiffServ Codepoint used for sending data. The DSCP can be set to
numeric, or hexadecimal values directly, as well as the well-defined
"cs<n>" and
"af<xx>" codepoints. Default is no
specified dscp codepoint, which means the default of the outgoing
interface is used.
