NAME

iscsisrv – iSCSI target: provide remote access via iSCSI

SYNOPSIS

ip/iscsisrv [ –dr ] [ –l len ] target [ dialstring ]

DESCRIPTION

Iscsisrv presents the file target by speaking a restricted form of the iSCSI protocol on file descriptors 0 and 1, assumed to be a network connection. It is intended to be invoked by listen(8) via /bin/service/tcp3260. Changes are written through to target unless the –r option is given. If –l is supplied, iscsisrv will claim that target is len bytes long.

EXAMPLES

Export a target, /dev/sdC0/iscsi–test:

disk/iscsisrv /dev/sdC0/iscsi–test

Export a dummy target:

disk/iscsisrv –l 10240000 /dev/zero

BUGS

Does not authenticate incoming connections.
Implements only one connection per session.
Implements only lun 0.
Implements immediate execution, whether requested or not.
Trusts TCP, so does not implement framing (FIM) nor CRCs (digests).
