79.Sh DESCRIPTION
80The
81.Nm
82utility is used to configure the iSCSI initiator.
83.Pp
84The following options are available:
85.Bl -tag -width "-d discovery-host"
86.It Fl -libxo
87Generate output via
88.Xr libxo 3
89in a selection of different human and machine readable formats.
90See
91.Xr xo_parse_args 3
92for details on command line arguments.
93.It Fl A
94Add session.
95.It Fl M
96Modify session.
97.It Fl R
98Remove session.
99.It Fl L
100List sessions.
101.It Fl a
102When adding, add all sessions defined in the configuration file.
103When removing, remove all currently established sessions.
104.It Fl c Ar path
105Path to the configuration file.
106The default is
107.Pa /etc/iscsi.conf .
108.It Fl d Ar discovery-host
109Target host name or address used for SendTargets discovery.
110When used, it will add a temporary discovery session.
111After discovery is done, sessions will be added for each discovered target,
112and the temporary discovery session will be removed.
113.It Fl e Cm on Ns | Ns Cm off
114Enable or disable the session.
115This is ignored for discovery sessions, but gets passed down to normal
116sessions they add.
117.It Fl i Ar session-id
118Session ID, as displayed by
119.Nm
120.Fl v .
121.It Fl n Ar nickname
122The
123.Ar nickname
124of a session defined in the configuration file.
125.It Fl p Ar portal
126Target portal \(em host name or address \(em for statically defined targets.
127.It Fl r
128Use iSER (iSCSI over RDMA) instead of plain iSCSI over TCP/IP.
129.It Fl s Ar secret
130CHAP secret.
131.It Fl t Ar target
132Target name.
133.It Fl u Ar user
134CHAP login.
135.It Fl v
136Verbose mode.
137.It Fl w Ar timeout
138Instead of returning immediately, wait up to
139.Ar timeout
140seconds until all configured sessions are successfully established.
141.El
142.Pp
143Certain parameters are necessary when adding a session.
144One can specify these either via command line (using the
145.Fl t ,
146.Fl p ,
147.Fl u ,
148and
149.Fl s
150options), or configuration file (using the
151.Fl a
152or
153.Fl n
154options).
155Some functionality - for example mutual CHAP - is available only
156via configuration file.
157.Pp
158Since connecting to the target is performed in background, non-zero
159exit status does not mean that the session was successfully established.
160Use either
161.Nm Fl L
162to check the connection status, or the
163.Fl w
164flag to wait for session establishment.
165.Pp
166Note that in order for the iSCSI initiator to be able to connect to a target,
167the
168.Xr iscsid 8
169daemon must be running.
170.Sh FILES
171.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /etc/iscsi.conf" -compact
172.It Pa /etc/iscsi.conf
173iSCSI initiator configuration file.
174.El
175.Sh EXIT STATUS
176The
177.Nm
178utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
179.Sh EXAMPLES
180Attach to target iqn.2012-06.com.example:target0, served by 192.168.1.1:
181.Dl Nm Fl A Fl t Ar iqn.2012-06.com.example:target0 Fl p Ar 192.168.1.1
182.Pp
183Perform discovery on 192.168.1.1, and add disabled sessions for each
184discovered target; use
185.Nm -M -e on
186to connect them:
187.Dl Nm Fl A Fl d Ar 192.168.1.1 Fl e Ar off
188.Pp
189Disconnect all iSCSI sessions:
