73.Sh DESCRIPTION
74The
75.Nm
76utility is used to configure the iSCSI initiator.
77.Pp
78The following options are available:
79.Bl -tag -width ".Fl A"
80.It Fl A
81Add session.
82.It Fl M
83Modify session.
84.It Fl R
85Remove session.
86.It Fl L
87List sessions.
88.It Fl a
89When adding, add all sessions defined in the configuration file.
90When removing, remove all currently established sessions.
91.It Fl c
92Path to the configuration file.
93The default is
94.Pa /etc/iscsi.conf .
95.It Fl d
96Target host name or address used for SendTargets discovery.
97When used, it will add a temporary discovery session.
98After discovery is done, sessions will be added for each discovered target,
99and the temporary discovery session will be removed.
100.It Fl i
101Session ID, as displayed by
102.Nm
103.Fl v .
104.It Fl n
105The "nickname" of session defined in the configuration file.
106.It Fl p
107Target portal - host name or address - for statically defined targets.
108.It Fl s
109CHAP secret.
110.It Fl t
111Target name.
112.It Fl u
113CHAP login.
114.It Fl v
115Verbose mode.
116.El
117.Pp
118Certain parameters are necessary when adding a session.
119One can specify these either via command line (using the
120.Fl t ,
121.Fl p ,
122.Fl u ,
123and
124.Fl s
125options), or configuration file (using the
126.Fl a
127or
128.Fl n
129options).
130Some functionality - for example mutual CHAP - is available only
131via configuration file.
132.Pp
133Since connecting to the target is performed in background, non-zero
134exit status does not mean that the session was successfully established.
135Use
136.Nm Fl L
137to check the connection status.
138.Pp
139Note that in order for the iSCSI initiator to be able to connect to a target,
140the
141.Xr iscsid 8
142daemon must be running.
143.Pp
144Also note that
145.Fx
146currently supports two different initiators: the old one,
147.Xr iscsi_initiator 4 ,
148with its control utility
149.Xr iscontrol 8 ,
150and the new one,
151.Xr iscsi 4 ,
152with
153.Nm
154and
155.Xr iscsid 8 .
156The only thing the two have in common is the configuration file,
157.Xr iscsi.conf 5 .
158.Sh FILES
159.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /etc/iscsi.conf" -compact
160.It Pa /etc/iscsi.conf
161iSCSI initiator configuration file.
162.El
163.Sh EXIT STATUS
164The
165.Nm
166utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
167.Sh EXAMPLES
168Attach to target iqn.2012-06.com.example:target0, served by 192.168.1.1:
169.Dl Nm Fl A Fl t Ar iqn.2012-06.com.example:target0 Fl p Ar 192.168.1.1
170.Pp
