|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm

|
.Op Fl d

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
daemon is responsible for managing the CAM Target Layer configuration,
|
|
accepting incoming iSCSI connections, performing authentication and
|
|
passing connections to the kernel part of the native iSCSI target.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Upon startup, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
daemon parses the configuration file and exits, if it encounters any errors.
|
|
Then it compares the configuration with the kernel list of LUNs managed
|
|
by previously running
|
|
.Nm
|
|
instances, removes LUNs no longer existing in the configuration file,
|
|
and creates new LUNs as neccessary.
|
|
After that it listens for the incoming iSCSI connections, performs
|
|
authentication, and, if successful, passes the connections to the kernel part
|
|
of CTL iSCSI target, which handles it from that point.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When it receives a SIGHUP signal, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
reloads its configuration and applies the changes to the kernel.
|
|
Changes are applied in a way that avoids unneccessary disruptions;
|
|
for example removing one LUN does not affect other LUNs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When exiting gracefully, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
daemon removes LUNs it managed and forcibly disconnects all the clients.
|
|
Otherwise - e.g. when killed with SIGKILL - LUNs stay configured
|
|
and clients remain connected.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To perform administrative actions that apply to already connected
|
|
sessions, such as forcing termination, use
|
|
.Xr ctladm 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl P Ar pidfile"
|
|
.It Fl f Ar config-file
|
|
Specifies the name of the configuration file.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Pa /etc/ctl.conf .
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Debug mode.
|
|
The server sends verbose debug output to standard error, and does not
|
|
put itself in the background.
|
|
The server will also not fork and will exit after processing one connection.
|
|
This option is only intended for debugging the target.

|

|

The file format and configuration options are described in

The default location of the

.Sh EXIT STATUS
|
|
The

|
.Nm
|
|
utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
