The goal of this work is to remove the explicit dependency for ctl(4) on iscsi(4), so end-users without iscsi(4) support in the kernel can use ctl(4) for its other functions. This allows those without iscsi(4) support built into the kernel to use ctl(4) as a test mechanism. As a sidenote, this was possible around the 10.0-RELEASE period, but made impossible for end-users without iscsi(4) between 10.0-RELEASE and 11.0-RELEASE. Automatically load cfiscsi(4) from ctladm(8) and ctld(8) for backwards compatibility with previously releases. The automatic loading feature is compiled into the beforementioned tools if MK_ISCSI == yes when building world. Add a manpage for cfiscsi(4) and refer to it in ctl(4).

.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm ctl
|
|

|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
subsystem includes multiple frontends to provide access using different
|
|
transport protocols and implementations:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width cfumass
|
|
.It camsim
|
|
Provides access for local system via virtual initiator mode
|
|
.Xr CAM 4
|
|
SIM.
|
|
.It camtgt
|
|
Provides access for remote systems via target mode
|
|
.Xr CAM 4
|
|
SIMs, such as Fibre Channel
|
|
.Xr isp 4
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr mpt 4 .
|
|
.It cfumass
|
|
Provides access for remote systems via USB Mass Storage Class
|
|
Bulk Only (BBB) Transport.
|
|
.It ha
|
|
Internal frontend used to receive requests from other node ports in
|
|
High Availability cluster.
|
|
.It ioctl
|
|
Provides access for local user-level applications via
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
|
based API.
|
|
.It iscsi
|
|
Provides access for remote systems via the iSCSI protocol using
|
|
.Xr cfiscsi 4 .
|
|
.It tpc
|
|
Internal frontend used to receive requests from Third Party Copy engine,
|
|
implementing copy offload operations.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
subsystem includes two backends to create logical units using different
|
|
kinds of backing stores:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ramdisk
|
|
.It block
|
|
Stores data in ZFS ZVOLs, files or raw block devices.
|
|
.It ramdisk
|
|
Stores data in RAM, that makes it mostly useful for performance testing.
|
|
Depending on configured capacity can work as black hole, thin or thick
|
|
provisioned disk.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
|
|
The following variables are available as both
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
variables and
|
|
.Xr loader 8
|
|
tunables:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Va kern.cam.ctl.debug
|
|
Bit mask of enabled CTL log levels:
|
|
.Bl -tag -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It 1
|
|
log commands with errors;
|
|
.It 2
|
|
log all commands;
|
|
.It 4
|
|
log data for commands other then READ/WRITE.
|
|
.El
|
|
Defaults to 0.
|
|
.It Va kern.cam.ctl.ha_id
|
|
Specifies unique position of this node within High Availability cluster.
|
|
Default is 0 -- no HA, 1 and 2 -- HA enabled at specified position.
|
|
.It Va kern.cam.ctl.ha_mode
|
|
Specifies High Availability cluster operation mode:
|
|
.Bl -tag -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It 0
|
|
Active/Standby -- primary node has backend access and processes requests,
|
|
while secondary can only do basic LUN discovery and reservation;
|
|
.It 1
|
|
Active/Active -- both nodes have backend access and process requests,
|
|
while secondary node synchronizes processing with primary one;
|
|
.It 2
|
|
Active/Active -- primary node has backend access and processes requests,
|
|
while secondary node forwards all requests and data to primary one;
|
|
.El
|
|
All above modes require established connection between HA cluster nodes.
|
|
If connection is not configured, secondary node will report Unavailable
|
|
state; if configured but not established -- Transitioning state.
|
|
Defaults to 0.
|
|
.It Va kern.cam.ctl.ha_peer
|
|
String value, specifying method to establish connection to peer HA node.
|
|
Can be "listen IP:port", "connect IP:port" or empty.
|
|
.It Va kern.cam.ctl.ha_link
|
|
Reports present state of connection between HA cluster nodes:
|
|
.Bl -tag -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It 0
|
|
not configured;
|
|
.It 1
|
|
configured but not established;
|
|
.It 2
|
|
established.
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Va kern.cam.ctl.ha_role
|
|
Specifies default role of this node:
|
|
.Bl -tag -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It 0
|
|
primary;
|
|
.It 1
|
|
secondary.
|
|
.El
|
|
This role can be overridden on per-LUN basis using "ha_role" LUN option,
|
|
so that for one LUN one node is primary, while for another -- another.
|
|
Role change from primary to secondary for HA modes 0 and 2 closes backends,
|
|
the opposite change -- opens.
|
|
If there is no primary node (both nodes are secondary, or secondary node has
|
|
no connection to primary one), secondary node(s) report Transitioning state.
|
|
State with two primary nodes is illegal (split brain condition).
