81.Sh DESCRIPTION
82The
83.Nm
84utility is used to configure the iSCSI initiator.
85.Pp
86The following options are available:
87.Bl -tag -width "-d discovery-host"
88.It Fl -libxo
89Generate output via
90.Xr libxo 3
91in a selection of different human and machine readable formats.
92See
93.Xr xo_parse_args 3
94for details on command line arguments.
95.It Fl A
96Add session.
97.It Fl M
98Modify session.
99.It Fl R
100Remove session.
101.It Fl L
102List sessions.
103.It Fl a
104When adding, add all sessions defined in the configuration file.
105When removing, remove all currently established sessions.
106.It Fl c Ar path
107Path to the configuration file.
108The default is
109.Pa /etc/iscsi.conf .
110.It Fl d Ar discovery-host
111Target host name or address used for SendTargets discovery.
112When used, it will add a temporary discovery session.
113After discovery is done, sessions will be added for each discovered target,
114and the temporary discovery session will be removed.
115.It Fl e Cm on Ns | Ns Cm off
116Enable or disable the session.
117This is ignored for discovery sessions, but gets passed down to normal
118sessions they add.
119.It Fl i Ar session-id
120Session ID, as displayed by
121.Nm
122.Fl v .
123.It Fl n Ar nickname
124The
125.Ar nickname
126of a session defined in the configuration file.
127.It Fl p Ar portal
128Target portal \(em host name or address \(em for statically defined targets.
129.It Fl r
130Use iSER (iSCSI over RDMA) instead of plain iSCSI over TCP/IP.
131.It Fl s Ar secret
132CHAP secret.
133.It Fl t Ar target
134Target name.
135.It Fl u Ar user
136CHAP login.
137.It Fl v
138Verbose mode.
139.It Fl w Ar timeout
140Instead of returning immediately, wait up to
141.Ar timeout
142seconds until all configured sessions are successfully established.
143.El
144.Pp
145Certain parameters are necessary when adding a session.
146One can specify these either via command line (using the
147.Fl t ,
148.Fl p ,
149.Fl u ,
150and
151.Fl s
152options), or configuration file (using the
153.Fl a
154or
155.Fl n
156options).
157Some functionality - for example mutual CHAP - is available only
158via configuration file.
159.Pp
160Since connecting to the target is performed in background, non-zero
161exit status does not mean that the session was successfully established.
162Use either
163.Nm Fl L
164to check the connection status, or the
165.Fl w
166flag to wait for session establishment.
167.Pp
168Note that in order for the iSCSI initiator to be able to connect to a target,
169the
170.Xr iscsid 8
171daemon must be running.
172.Pp
173Also note that
174.Fx
175currently supports two different initiators: the old one,
176.Xr iscsi_initiator 4 ,
177with its control utility
178.Xr iscontrol 8 ,
179and the new one,
180.Xr iscsi 4 ,
181with
182.Nm
183and
184.Xr iscsid 8 .
185The only thing the two have in common is the configuration file,
186.Xr iscsi.conf 5 .
187.Sh FILES
188.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /etc/iscsi.conf" -compact
189.It Pa /etc/iscsi.conf
190iSCSI initiator configuration file.
191.El
192.Sh EXIT STATUS
193The
194.Nm
195utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
196.Sh EXAMPLES
197Attach to target iqn.2012-06.com.example:target0, served by 192.168.1.1:
198.Dl Nm Fl A Fl t Ar iqn.2012-06.com.example:target0 Fl p Ar 192.168.1.1
199.Pp
200Perform discovery on 192.168.1.1, and add disabled sessions for each
201discovered target; use
202.Nm -M -e on
203to connect them:
204.Dl Nm Fl A Fl d Ar 192.168.1.1 Fl e Ar off
205.Pp
206Disconnect all iSCSI sessions:
