kernel configuration file:
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
.Cd "device iscsi_initiator"
.Ed
.Pp
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
module at boot time, place the following line in
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
.Bd -literal -offset indent
iscsi_initiator_load="YES"
.Ed
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
implements the kernel side of the Internet SCSI (iSCSI) network
protocol standard, the user land companion is
.Xr iscontrol 8 ,
and permits access to remote
.Em virtual
SCSI devices via
.Xr cam 4 .
.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
.Bl -tag -width ".Va net.iscsi.n.targeaddress"
.It Va debug.iscsi_initiator
set the debug-level, 0 means no debugging, 9 for maximum.
.It Va net.iscsi.isid
the initiator part of the Session Identifier.
.It "the following are informative only:"
.It Va net.iscsi.driver_version
the current version of the driver.
.It Va net.iscsi.sessions
the number of current active sessions.
.It Va net.iscsi.n.targetname
is the targe name of session
.Em n .
.It Va net.iscsi.n.targeaddress
