iSCSI SCST Target Daemon(8)

NAME
iscsi-scstd - iSCSI SCST Target Daemon

SYNOPSIS
iscsi-scstd [-c configfile] [-d debuglevel] [-f] [-g GID] [-h] [-a address] [-p port] [-u UID]

DESCRIPTION
The iscsi-scstd program implements the user level part of iSCSI SCST Target software for building an iSCSI storage system on Linux.

OPTIONS

-c filename, --config=filename
    Specify configuration file, default is /etc/iscsi-scstd.conf

-d debuglevel, --debug=debuglevel
    Turns on debugging. Logging goes to /var/log/syslog via syslog(1).

-f, --foreground
    Act as a normal application which uses a console.

-g GID, --gid=GID
    Specify running group id, default is current gid.

-a address, --address=address
    Specify on which local address the server should listen, default is any.

-p port, --port=port
    Specify on which port the server should listen, default is 3260.

-h, --help
    Display help message on command line options.

-u UID, --uid=UID
    Specify running user id, default is current uid.

FILES
/etc/iscsi-scstd.conf
    The system wide configuration file. See iscsi-scstd.conf(5) for further details.

KNOWN ISSUES
Task attributes is incomplete (all tasks are treated as if they have the SIMPLE attribute.) SCSI task management is incomplete. NOP-In is incomplete. The target never sends a NOP-In of its own accord. Header and Data Digest in a discovery session are not implemented. Out-of-memory situation leads to the system crash (There are still some out-of-memory bugs.)
