CFISCSI(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual CFISCSI(4) NAME cfiscsi -- CAM Target Layer iSCSI target frontend SYNOPSIS To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device cfiscsi device ctl device iscsi Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): cfiscsi_load="YES" DESCRIPTION The cfiscsi subsystem provides the kernel component of an iSCSI target. The target is the iSCSI server, providing LUNs backed by local files and volumes to remote initiators. The userspace component is provided by ctld(8). cfiscsi is implemented as a ctl(4) frontend and uses infrastruc- ture provided by iscsi(4). SYSCTL VARIABLES The following variables are available as both sysctl(8) variables and loader(8) tunables: kern.cam.ctl.iscsi.debug Verbosity level for log messages from the kernel part of iSCSI tar- get. Set to 0 to disable logging or 1 to warn about potential problems. Larger values enable debugging output. Defaults to 1. kern.cam.ctl.iscsi.maxtags The number of outstanding commands to advertise to each iSCSI ini- tiator. Current implementation is not very accurate, so do not set this below 2. Defaults to 256. kern.cam.ctl.iscsi.ping_timeout The number of seconds to wait for the iSCSI initiator to respond to a NOP-In PDU. In the event that there is no response within that time the session gets forcibly terminated. Set to 0 to disable sending NOP-In PDUs. Defaults to 5. SEE ALSO ctl(4), iscsi(4), ctl.conf(5), ctld(8) HISTORY The cfiscsi subsystem first appeared in FreeBSD 10.0 as part of the ctl(4) driver. It was split off of ctl(4) in FreeBSD 12.0. AUTHORS The cfiscsi subsystem was developed by Edward Tomasz Napierala <trasz@FreeBSD.org> under sponsorship from the FreeBSD Foundation. This manual page was written by Enji Cooper <ngie@FreeBSD.org>. FreeBSD ports 15.quarterly May 28, 2017 CFISCSI(4)
