DESCRIPTION
iscsi-target
is the server for
iSCSI
requests from iSCSI initiators.
iscsi-target
listens for discovery and login requests on the required port,
and responds to those requests appropriately.
Options and operands available for
iscsi-target:
- -4
-
iscsi-target
will listen for IPv4 connections,
and respond back using IPv4.
This is the default address family.
- -6
-
iscsi-target
will listen for IPv6 connections,
and respond back using IPv6.
- -b blocksize

The possible sizes are: 512, 1024, 2048, and 4096 bytes, with the default
being 512 bytes.
- -D

When this option is specified,

not become a daemon.
This can be useful for debugging purposes.
