27.Os
28.Sh NAME
29.Nm cfiscsi
30.Nd CAM Target Layer iSCSI target frontend
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32To compile this driver into the kernel,
33place the following lines in your
34kernel configuration file:
35.Bd -ragged -offset indent
36.Cd "device cfiscsi"
37.Cd "device ctl"
38.Cd "device iscsi"
39.Ed
40.Pp
41Alternatively, to load the driver as a
42module at boot time, place the following line in
43.Xr loader.conf 5 :
44.Bd -literal -offset indent
45cfiscsi_load="YES"
46.Ed
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Nm
50subsystem provides the kernel component of an iSCSI target.
51The target is the iSCSI server, providing LUNs backed by local files
52and volumes to remote initiators.
53The userspace component is provided by
54.Xr ctld 8 .
55.Nm
56is implemented as a
57.Xr ctl 4
58frontend and uses infrastructure provided by
59.Xr iscsi 4 .
60.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
61The following variables are available as both
62.Xr sysctl 8
63variables and
64.Xr loader 8
65tunables:
66.Bl -tag -width indent
67.It Va kern.cam.ctl.iscsi.debug
68Verbosity level for log messages from the kernel part of iSCSI target.
69Set to 0 to disable logging or 1 to warn about potential problems.
70Larger values enable debugging output.
71Defaults to 1.
72.It Va kern.cam.ctl.iscsi.maxtags
73The number of outstanding commands to advertise to each iSCSI initiator.
74Current implementation is not very accurate, so do not set this below 2.
75Defaults to 256.
76.It Va kern.cam.ctl.iscsi.ping_timeout
77The number of seconds to wait for the iSCSI initiator to respond to a NOP-In
78PDU.
79In the event that there is no response within that time the session gets
80forcibly terminated.
81Set to 0 to disable sending NOP-In PDUs.
82Defaults to 5.

89.Sh HISTORY
90The
91.Nm
92subsystem first appeared in
93.Fx 10.0
94as part of the
95.Xr ctl 4
96driver.
97It was split off of
98.Xr ctl 4
99in
100.Fx 12.0 .
