💖 istgt(1) — the iSCSI target that just gets it 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're talking about istgt, a whole General Commands Manual page from the istgt corner of the universe. she's an iSCSI target and she is serving.

✨ NAME ✨

istgt — iSCSI target 🎯

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

istgt [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, istgt is an iSCSI target for FreeBSD 7.1 or later. she was literally designed for multipath failover cluster nodes — that's her whole main character origin story. 🫶

and highkey she's also useful for virtual machines, like Hyper-V and ESXi. no cap. she's versatile like that. 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -c config — use the specified file as the configuration file. and yes, multiple instances of istgt are allowed for different IP/ports, so you can absolutely run a whole squad. ✨
  • -p pidfile — use the specified file for writing the PID of the daemon. it can also be specified in the configuration file, but heads up: this option is overwritten by the setting in the configuration file. so the config file wins, okay? periodt. 🎀
  • -l facility — use a specific syslog facility.
  • -m mode — use the specified operational mode:
    • 0 = traditional (similar to 20100707)
    • 1 = normal (default)
    • 2 = experimental (new feature mode)
  • -t flag — print trace information to standard error. trace flag options are: all, net, iscsi, scsi, lu, none. pick your fighter. 🔥
  • -q — use quiet mode. the warning message is omitted. 🤫
  • -D — istgt will not detach from tty and will run as foreground. it requires you to print trace information. so she's staying right here with you, bestie. 🙈
  • -H — show usage.
  • -V — show version. ⭐

🍓 FILES 🍓

  • /etc/istgt/istgt.conf — configuration file
  • /etc/istgt/auth.conf — authentication information file
  • /var/run/istgt.pid — PID of daemon
