IT_INI_CREATE 3ISCSIT "Oct 1, 2008"
NAME
it_ini_create, it_ini_setprop, it_ini_delete, it_ini_free - create, modify and delete iSCSI Initiator Contexts
SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag.\|.\|. ] file.\|.\|. -liscsit [ library.\|.\|. ]
#include <libiscsit.h>

int it_ini_create(it_config_t *cfg, it_ini_t **ini,
 char *ini_node_name);

int it_ini_setprop(it_ini_t *ini, nvlist_t *proplist,
 nvlist_t **errlist););

void it_ini_delete(it_config_t *cfg, it_ini_t *ini);

void it_ini_free(it_ini_t *ini);
PARAMETERS
cfg

a pointer t the iSCSI configuration structure

ini

a pointer to the it_ini_t structure representing the initiator context

ini_node_name

the iSCSI node name of the remote initiator

proplist

a pointer to an nvlist_t containing the initiator properties to be set

errlist

an optional pointer to an nvlist_t that will be used to store specific errors (if any) when validating initiator properties

DESCRIPTION

The it_ini_create() function adds an initiator context to the global configuration.

The it_ini_setprop() function validates the provided property list and sets the properties for the specified initiator. If errlist is not NULL, this function returns detailed errors for each property that failed. The format for errlist is key = property, value = error string.

The it_ini_delete() function removes the specified initiator context from the global configuration.

The it_ini_free() function deallocates resources of an it_ini_t structure. If ini\(->next is not NULL, this function frees all members of the list.

Configuration changes as a result of these functions are not instantiated until the modified configuration is committed by calling it_config_commit(3ISCSIT).

Initiator nvlist properties are as follows:

nvlist Key Type Valid Values
chapuser string any string, or none to remove
chapsecret string
string of at least 12 characters but not more than 255 characters. secret will be base64 encoded when stored.
RETURN VALUES

The it_ini_create(), it_ini_setprop(), and it_ini_delete() functions return 0 on success and an error value on failure.

ERRORS

The it_ini_create(), it_ini_setprop(), and it_ini_delete() functions will fail if: EEXIST

The requested initiator context is already configured.

EINVAL

A parameter or property is invalid.

ENOMEM

Resources could not be allocated.
