It contains declarations and parameter/key-options. The syntax is very simple, .D1 Li variable = value; and they can be grouped via a .Em block declaration: .Bf Li .Bd -literal # this is a comment target_1 { # nickname variable = value; ... } # this must be on a line by itself. .Ed .Ef .Pp The following are specified in the iSCSI RFC 3720, for a full description see sections 11/12 of the RFC. .Bl -tag -width MaxConnections .It Cm AuthMethod currently only supported authentication method is CHAP, with digest either MD5 or SHA. Default is none. .It Cm HeaderDigest a .Em digest is calculated on the header of all iSCSI PDUs, and checked. Only CRC32C is implemented. Default is none. .It Cm DataDigest same as for HeaderDigest, but on the data part of the iSCSI PDU. .It Cm MaxConnections is the number of simultaneous connections per session, currently only 1. .It Cm TargetName is the name by which the target is known, not to be confused with target address, either obtained via the target administrator, or from a .Em discovery session . .It Cm InitiatorName if not specified, defaults to .Sy iqn.2005-01.il.ac.huji.cs: .Aq hostname . .It Cm TargetAlias / InitiatorAlias not implemented. .It Cm TargetAddress is of the form .Sy domainname[:port][,portal-group-tag] to quote the RFC: .Bd -ragged -compact The domainname can be specified as either a DNS host name, a dotted-decimal IPv4 address, or a bracketed IPv6 address as specified in .Sy RFC 2732 . .Ed Note: portal-group-tag is unused at the moment. .It Cm TargetPortalGroupTag .Em not implemented yet. .It Cm InitialR2T .Em not implemented yet. .It Cm ImmediateData .Em not implemented yet. .It Cm MaxRecvDataSegmentLength the maximum data segment length in bytes it can receive in an iSCSI PDU, default is 8192. .It Cm MaxBurstLength .Em not implemented yet. .It Cm FirstBurstLength .Em not implemented yet. .It Cm DefaultTime2Wait .Em not implemented yet. .It Cm DefaultTime2Retain .Em not implemented yet. .It Cm MaxOutstandingR2T is used to calculate/negotiate the .Em tag opening , can be overridden by the .Sy tag option. .It Cm DataPDUInOrder .Em not implemented yet. .It Cm DataSequenceInOrder .Em not implemented yet. .It Cm ErrorRecoveryLevel Only level 0 is supported. .It Cm SessionType either Discovery or Normal, default is Normal, see the .Fl d flag of .Cm iscontrol . .El .sp The following are not specified in the .Sy RFC 3720 .Bl -tag -width sockbufsize .It Cm port The iSCSI port used by the iSCSI protocol, defaults to 3260. .It Cm tags Sets the .Em tag opening to the value specified. .It Cm maxluns overrides the compiled value of .Sy luns , see .Xr iscsi_initiator 4 . This value can only be reduced. .It Cm sockbufsize sets the receiver and transmitter socket buffer size to .Em size , in kilobytes. The default is 128. .El .sp If .Em AuthMethod is set to .Cm CHAP , then the following must also be set: .Bl -tag -width chapSecret .It Cm chapSecret this .Em shared-secret . Can be either an ASCII string (e.g. hello world), a hex string (e.g 0xababcd0987654321...), or base64 string (eg 0b...) .It Cm chapIName the chap-name, defaults to .Em hostname . .It Cm chapDigest can be MD5 or SHA1. .It Cm tgtChapSecret/tgtChapName same as the none .Em tgt counterpart, but to authenticate the target. .El .Sh FILES .Pa /etc/iscsi.conf .Sh EXAMPLES .Bd -literal # # Globals # port = 3260 # myiscsi { # nickname targetaddress = iscsi1 targetname = iqn.1900.com.com:sn.123456 } chaptest { targetaddress= 10.0.0.1; targetname = iqn.1900.com.com:sn.123456 initiatorname= iqn.2005-01.il.ac.huji.cs:nobody authmethod = CHAP; chapDigest = SHA1; chapsecret = 0x3713c3336d9a224c2791c873d3d2b174 tags = 256 } .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr iscsi_initiator 4 , .Xr iscontrol 8 .Sh STANDARDS ISCSI RFC 3720 .\"Sh HISTORY .\"Sh AUTHORS .Sh BUGS Some options have not been implemented, either they were found to be unnecessary, or not understood, this can change in the future. .Pp The tags opening value is difficult to calculate, use wisely. .Pp The parsing is very primitive, so do not expect - at the moment - any error messages.
