👑 NAME 👑

iscsi_default_iface_setup(3) — bestie, this is the API Manual page for iscsi_default_iface_setup, and its whole job is literally setting up default iSCSI interfaces. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int iscsi_default_iface_setup (struct iscsi_context *ctx);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ctx — a pointer to struct iscsi_context. That's the vibe 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so this function sets up the default iSCSI interfaces for iSCSI TCP, iSER, and iSCSI hardware offload cards. ✨ It is required after a new iSCSI hardware offload card is installed — like, don't skip it, bestie.

The following kernel modules get loaded when required by this function:

  • cxgb3i
  • cxgb4i
  • bnx2i

It will also create configuration files for iSCSI hardware offload cards in /etc/iscsi/ifaces/<iface_name>. Yes, that exact path. 🎀

🔥 RETURN 🔥

Returns int. The valid error codes are:

  • LIBISCSI_OK
  • LIBISCSI_ERR_BUG
  • LIBISCSI_ERR_NOMEM
  • LIBISCSI_ERR_ACCESS
  • LIBISCSI_ERR_SYSFS_LOOKUP
  • LIBISCSI_ERR_IDBM

Error number could be converted to string by iscsi_strerror. 🫶

💖 that's the whole page, bestie! This one is from the API Manual, dated September 2026 — iscsi_default_iface_setup(3), signing off. Byeee 👑✨
