iscsi_discovery(8)                   System Manager's Manual                   iscsi_discovery(8)



NAME
       iscsi_discovery - discover iSCSI targets

SYNOPSIS
       iscsi_discovery <IP> [-p <port>] [-d] [-t <tcp|iser> [-f]] [-m] [-l]


DESCRIPTION
       Perform  send-targets  discovery  to the specified IP. If a discovery record is generated,
       try to login to the portal using the preferred transport (-t flag specifies the  requested
       transport  type,  TCP  is the default).  If login using a certain transport succeeds, mark
       the portal for automatic login (unless -m flag is used), and disconnect (unless -l flag is
       used).

       For  iSCSI  discovery  to work, open-iscsi services must be running. i.e. iscsid should be
       up, and the iSCSI modules loaded. This is best accomplished by the init.d startup script.


       [-p=]port-number
              set the port number (defualt is 3260).

       [-d]   print debugging information.

       [-t=]transport-type
              set transport (default is tcp).

       [-f]   force specific transport -  disable  the  fallback  to  tcp  (default  is  fallback
              enabled).  force the transport specified by the argument of the -t flag.


       [-m]   manual startup - will set manual startup (default is automatic startup).

       [-l]   login - login to the new discovered nodes (defualt is false).
