+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The iscsiadm utility is a command-line tool allowing discovery and login
+to iSCSI targets, as well as access and management of the open-iscsi
+database.
+.PP
+Open-iscsi does not use the term \fInode\fR as defined by the iSCSI RFC,
+where a node is a single iSCSI initiator or target. Open-iscsi uses the
+term \fInode\fR to refer to a portal on a target.
+.PP
+For \fIsession\fR mode, a session id (\fIsid\fR) is used. The \fIsid\fR of a session can be
+found by running \fIiscsiadm \-m session \-P 1\fR. The session id and sysfs
+path are not currently persistent and is partially determined by when the
+session is setup.
+.SH NOTES
+.PP
+Many of the node and discovery operations require that the iSCSI
+daemon (iscsid) be running. If running on a system that uses systemd,
+the daemon may start up automatically, if enabled, when needed.
+.PP
+Open-iscsi has two groups of files it needs to store or get access to,
+while running: the \fBHOMEDIR\fR and the \fBDBROOT\fR. The following
+describes them:
+.TP
+.B Home Directory
+The \fIhome directory\fR for open-iscsi is @HOMEDIR@. This is
+where it keeps it's configuration file (\fIiscsid.conf\fR) and it's
+initiator name file (\fIinitiatorname.iscsi\fR).
+.TP
+.B Database Root Directory
+The \fIdatabase root directory\fR for open-iscsi is @DBROOT@. This
+is where it keeps its flat database files, such as it's list of \fInode\fRs
+(see below).
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+\fB\-a\fR, \fB\-\-ip=\fIipaddr\fP
+\fIipaddr\fR can be IPv4 or IPv6.
+.IP
+This option is only valid for \fIping\fR submode.
+.TP
+\fB\-A\fR, \fB\-\-portal_type=\fI[ipv4|ipv6]\fR
+Specify the portal type for the new flash node entry to be created.
+.IP
+This option is only valid for \fIflashnode\fR submode of \fIhost\fR mode and only with \fInew\fR operation.
+.TP
+\fB\-b\fR, \fB\-\-packetsize=\fIpacketsize\fP
+Specify the ping \fIpacketsize\fR.
+.IP
+This option is only valid for \fIping\fR submode.
+.TP
+\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-count=\fIcount\fP
+\fIcount\fR specifies the number of ping iterations.
+.IP
+This option is only valid for \fIping\fR submode.
+.TP
+\fB\-C\fR, \fB\-\-submode=\fIop\fP
+Specify the submode for mode. \fIop\fR must be name of submode.
+.IP
+Currently iscsiadm supports \fIping\fR as a submode for \fIiface\fR. For example:
+.IP
+iscsiadm \-m iface \-I ifacename \-C ping \-a ipaddr \-b packetsize \-c count \-i interval
+.IP
+For \fIhost\fR, it supports \fIchap\fR, \fIflashnode\fR and \fIstats\fR as submodes. For example:
+.IP
+iscsiadm \-m host \-H hostno \-C chap \-x chap_tbl_idx \-o operation
+.IP
+iscsiadm \-m host \-H hostno \-C flashnode \-x flashnode_idx \-o operation
+.IP
+iscsiadm \-m host \-H hostno \-C stats
+.TP
+\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-debug=\fIdebug_level\fP
+print debugging information. Valid values for \fIdebug_level\fR are 0 to 8.
+.TP
+\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
+display help text and exit
+.TP
+\fB\-H\fR, \fB\-\-host=\fI[hostno|MAC]\fR
+The \fIhost\fR argument specifies the SCSI host to use for the operation. It can be
+the scsi host number assigned to the host by the kernel's scsi layer, or the
+MAC address of a scsi host.
+.TP
+\fB\-i\fR, \fB\-\-interval=\fIinterval\fP
+\fIinterval\fP specifies the delay between two ping iterations.
+.IP
+This option is only valid for \fIping\fR submode.
+.TP
+\fB\-I\fR, \fB\-\-interface=\fI[iface]\fR
+The \fIinterface\fR argument specifies the iSCSI interface to use for the operation.
+iSCSI interfaces (\fIiface\fR) are defined in @DBROOT@/ifaces. For hardware
+iSCSI (e.g. qla4xxx) the \fIiface\fR configuration must have the hardware address
+(\fIiface.hwaddress\fR = port's MAC address)
+and the driver/transport_name (\fIiface.transport_name\fR). The \fIiface\fR's name is
+then the filename of the iface configuration. For software iSCSI, the iface configuration
+must have either the hardware address (\fIiface.hwaddress\fR), or the network
+layer's interface name (\fIiface.net_ifacename\fR), and it must have the
+driver/transport_name.
+.IP
+The available drivers/iscsi_transports are \fItcp\fR (software iSCSI over TCP/IP),
+\fIiser\fR (software iSCSI over InfiniBand),
+\fIqla4xxx\fR (Qlogic 4XXXX and 82XXX HBAs),
+\fIcxgb3i\fR and \fIcxgb4i\fR (Chelsio T3 and T4 adapters),
+\fIbnx2i\fR (QLogic Netextreme II adapters),
+\fIbe2iscsi\fR (Emulex 10G adapter),
+\fIqedi\fR (QLogic QEDI 25/40/100Gb adapter), and
+\fIocs\fR (Emulex One Connect storage).
+Some of these are considered experimental, as they are not fully tested.
+.IP
+The \fIhwaddress\fR is the MAC address or for software iSCSI it may be the special
+value \fIdefault\fR which directs the initiator to not bind the session to a
+specific hardware resource and instead allow the network or InfiniBand layer
+to decide what to do. There is no need to create an iface configuration with the default
+behavior. If you do not specify an \fIiface\fR, then the default behavior is used.
+.IP
+As mentioned above there is a special iface name \fIdefault\fR. There are
+others which do not bind the session to a specific card, but instead bind
+the session to the transport:
+\fIiser\fR,
+\fIcxgb3i\fR,
+\fIcxgb4i\fR, and
+\fIbnx2i\fR.
+.IP
+In \fIdiscovery\fR mode multiple interfaces can be specified by passing in
+multiple \fI\-I/\-\-interface\fR instances. For example:
+.IP
+\fBsh#\fR iscsiadm \-m discoverydb \-t st \-p ip:port \-I iface0 \-I iface2 \-\-discover
+.IP
+Will direct iscsiadm to setup the node db to create records which will create
+sessions through the two interfaces passed in.
+.IP
+In \fInode\fR mode, only a single interface is supported in each call to iscsiadm.
+.IP
+This option is valid for \fIdiscovery\fR, \fInode\fR and \fIiface\fR modes.
+.TP
+\fB\-k\fR, \fB\-\-killiscsid=\fI[priority]\fR
+Currently \fIpriority\fR must be zero. This will immediately stop all iscsid
+operations and shutdown iscsid. It does not logout any sessions. Running
+this command is the same as doing \fIkillall iscsid\fR. Neither should
+normally be used, because if iscsid is doing error recovery or if there
+is an error while iscsid is not running, the system may not be able to recover.
+This command and iscsid's SIGTERM handling are experimental.
+.TP
+\fB\-D\fR, \fB\-\-discover\fR
+Discover targets using the discovery record with the \fIrecid\fR matching
+the the discovery type and portal passed in. If there is no matching record,
+it will be created using the iscsid.conf discovery settings.
+This must be passed in to \fIdiscoverydb\fR mode to instruct iscsiadm to perform
+discovery.
+.IP
+This option is only valid for \fISendTargets\fR discovery mode.
+.TP
+\fB\-l\fR, \fB\-\-login\fR
+For \fInode\fR and \fIfw\fR modes, login to a specified record. For \fIdiscovery\fR mode,
+login to all discovered targets.
+.IP
+This option is only valid for \fIdiscovery\fR, \fInode\fR, and \fIfw\fR modes.
+For \fIfw\fR mode only, \fIname\fR and \fIvalue\fR pairs can optionally be passed in,
+so that those values get used for the sessions created. In this case, no \fIop\fR
+is needed, since \fIupdate\fR is assumed.
+.TP
+\fB\-L\fR, \fB\-\-loginall=\fI[all|manual|automatic|onboot]\fR
+For \fInode\fR mode, login to all sessions with the node or conn startup values passed
+in or all running session, except ones marked \fIonboot\fR, if \fIall\fR is passed in.
+.IP
+This option is only valid for \fInode\fR mode (it is valid but not functional
+for \fIsession\fR mode).
+.TP
+\fB\-W\fR, \fB\-\-\-no_wait\fR
+In \fInode\fR, \fIdiscovery\fR, or \fIfw\fR (firmware) mode,
+do not wait for a response from the target(s).
+This means that success will be returned if the command is able to
+send the login requests, whether or not they succeed. In this case, it will
+be up to the caller to poll for success (i.e. session creation).
+.TP
+\fB\-m\fR, \fB\-\-mode \fIop\fR
+specify the mode. \fIop\fR
+must be one of \fIdiscovery\fR, \fIdiscoverydb\fR, \fInode\fR, \fIfw\fR,
+\fIhost\fR, \fIiface\fR or \fIsession\fR.
+.IP
+If no other options are specified: for \fIdiscovery\fR, \fIdiscoverydb\fR and
+\fInode\fR mode, all of their respective records are displayed; for \fIsession\fR mode,
+all active sessions and connections are displayed; for \fIfw\fR mode, all boot
+firmware values are displayed; for \fIhost\fR mode, all iSCSI hosts are displayed;
+and for \fIiface\fR mode, all interfaces setup in @DBROOT@/ifaces are displayed.
+.TP
+\fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-name=\fIname\fR
+In \fInode\fR mode, specify a field \fIname\fR in a record. In \fIflashnode\fR submode
+of \fIhost\fR mode, specify name of the flash node parameter.
+.IP
+For use with the \fIupdate\fR operator.
+.TP
+\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-op=\fIop\fR
+Specifies a database operator \fIop\fR. \fIop\fR must be one of
+\fInew\fR, \fIdelete\fR, \fIupdate\fR, \fIshow\fR or \fInonpersistent\fR.
+.IP
+For \fIiface\fR mode, \fIapply\fR and \fIapplyall\fR are also applicable.
+.IP
+For \fIflashnode\fR submode of \fIhost\fR mode, \fIlogin\fR and \fIlogout\fR are also applicable.
+.IP
+This option is valid for all modes except \fIfw\fR. Delete should not be used
+on a running session. If it is iscsiadm will stop the session and then delete the
+record.
+.IP
+An \fIop\fR of \fInew\fR creates a new database record for a given object. In \fInode\fR mode, the
+\fIrecid\fR is the target name and portal (IP:port). In \fIiface\fR mode, the \fIrecid\fR
+is the iface name. In \fIdiscovery\fR mode, the \fIrecid\fR is the portal and
+discovery type.
+.IP
+In \fIsession\fR mode, the \fInew\fR operation logs in a new session using
+the same node database and iface information as the specified session.
+.IP
+In \fIdiscovery\fR mode, if the \fIrecid\fR and \fInew\fR operation is passed in,
+but the \fI\-\-discover\fR argument is not passed in, then iscsiadm will only create a
+discovery record (it will not perform discovery). If the \fI\-\-discover\fR
+argument is passed in with the portal and discovery type, then iscsiadm
+will create the discovery record if needed, and it will create records
+for portals returned by the target that do not yet have a node DB record.
+.IP
+Setting \fIop\fR to \fIdelete\fR deletes the specified \fIrecid\fR. In \fIdiscovery\fR mode, if
+iscsiadm is performing discovery, it will delete records for portals that
+are no longer returned.
+.IP
+Setting \fIop\fR to \fIupdate\fR will update the \fIrecid\fR with \fIname\fR to the specified
+\fIvalue\fR. In discovery mode, if iscsiadm is performing discovery the
+\fIrecid\fR, \fIname\fR and \fIvalue\fR arguments are not needed. The
+update operation will operate on the portals returned by the target,
+and will update the node records with information from the configuration file and
+command line.
+.IP
+The \fIop\fR value of \fIshow\fR is the default behaviour for \fInode\fR,
+\fIdiscovery\fR and \fIiface\fR mode. It is
+also used when there are no commands passed into \fIsession\fR mode and a
+running \fIsid\fR is passed in.
+If \fIname\fR and \fIvalue\fR are passed in, they are currently ignored in \fIshow\fR mode.
+.IP
+An \fIop\fR value of \fInonpersistent\fR instructs iscsiadm to not manipulate the node DB.
+.IP
+An \fIop\fR value of \fIapply\fR will cause the network settings to take effect on the specified iface.
+.IP
+An \fIop\fR value of \fIapplyall\fR will cause the network settings to take effect on all the
+ifaces whose MAC address or host number matches that of the specific host.
+.IP
+An \fIop\fR value of \fIlogin\fR will log into the specified flash node entry.
+.IP
+An \fIop\fR value of \fIlogout\fR does the logout from the given flash node entry.
+.TP
+\fB\-p\fR, \fB\-\-portal=\fIip[:port]\fR
+Use target portal with IP address \fIip\fR and port \fIport\fR. If \fIport\fI is not passed
+in the default value of 3260 is used.
+.IP
+IPv6 addresses can be specified as \fI[ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd]:port\fI or \fIddd.ddd.ddd.ddd\fR.
+.IP
+Hostnames can also be used for the \fIip\fI argument.
+.IP
+This option is only valid for \fIdiscovery\fR, or for \fInode\fR operations with
+the \fInew\fR operator.
+.IP
+This should be used along with \fI\-\-target\fR in \fInode\fR mode, to specify what
+the open-iscsi documents refer to as a node or node record. Note: open-iscsi's
+use of the word node, does not match the iSCSI RFC's iSCSI Node term.
+.TP
+\fB\-P\fR, \fB\-\-print=\fIprintlevel\fR
+If in \fInode\fR mode print nodes in tree format. If in \fIsession\fR mode print
+sessions in tree format. If in \fIdiscovery\fR mode print the nodes in
+tree format.
+.TP
+\fB\-T\fR, \fB\-\-targetname=\fItargetname\fR
+Use target \fItargetname\fR.
+.IP
+This should be used along with \fI\-\-portal\fR in \fInode\fR mode, to specify what
+the open-iscsi documents refer to as a node or node record. Note: open-iscsi's
+use of the word node, does not match the iSCSI RFC's iSCSI Node term.
+.TP
+\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-sid=\fIsid | sysfsdir\fR
+Use session ID \fIsid\fR. The session ID of a session can be found from running
+iscsiadm in session mode with the \fI\-\-info\fR argument.
+.IP
+Instead of a session ID, a sysfs path containing the session can be used.
+For example using one of the following:
+/sys/devices/platform/hostH/sessionS/targetH:B:I/H:B:I:L,
+/sys/devices/platform/hostH/sessionS/targetH:B:I, or
+/sys/devices/platform/hostH/sessionS, for the \fIsysfsdir\fR argument would
+result in the session with session ID \fIS\fR to be used.
+.IP
+\fIsid | sysfsdir\fR is only required for \fIsession\fR mode.
+.TP
+\fB\-R\fR, \fB\-\-rescan\fR
+In \fIsession\fR mode, if \fIsid\fR is also passed in, rescan the session.
+If no \fIsid\fR has been passed in rescan all running sessions.
+.IP
+In \fInode\fR mode, rescan a session running through the target, portal, iface
+tuple passed in.
+.TP
+\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-stats\fR
+Display session statistics.
+This option when used with \fIhost\fR mode, displays host statistics.
+.TP
+\fB\-S\fR, \fB\-\-show\fR
+When displaying records, do not hide masked values, such as the CHAP
+secret (password).
+.IP
+This option is only valid for \fInode\fR and \fIsession\fR mode.
+.TP
+\fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-type=\fItype\fR
+\fItype\fR must be \fIsendtargets\fR (or abbreviated as \fIst\fR),
+\fIslp\fR, \fIisns\fR or \fIfw\fR. Currently only \fIsendtargets\fR, \fIfw\fR, and
+\fIiSNS\fR are supported, see the \fBDISCOVERY TYPES\fR section.
+.IP
+This option is only valid for \fIdiscovery\fR mode.
+.TP
+\fB\-u\fR, \fB\-\-logout\fR
+Logout for the specified record.
+.IP
+This option is only valid for \fInode\fR and \fIsession\fR mode.
+.TP
+\fB\-U\fR, \fB\-\-logoutall=\fI[all,manual,automatic|onboot]\fR
+Logout of all sessions with the node or conn startup values passed in or all
+running sessions, except ones marked \fIonboot\fR, if \fIall\fR is passed in.
+.IP
+This option is only valid for \fInode\fR mode (it is valid but not functional
+for \fIsession\fR mode).
+.TP
+\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-value=\fIvalue\fR
+Specify a \fIvalue\fR for use with the \fIupdate\fR operator, or for firmware login mode.
+.IP
+This option is only valid for \fInode\fR mode and \fIflashnode\fR submode of \fIhost\fR mode.
+.TP
+\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
+Display version and exit.
+.TP
+\fB\-x\fR, \fB\-\-index=\fIindex\fR
+Specify the \fIindex\fR of the entity to operate on.
+.IP
+This option is only valid for \fIchap\fR and \fIflashnode\fR submodes of \fIhost\fR mode.
+.SH DISCOVERY TYPES
+iSCSI defines 3 discovery types: \fISendTargets\fR, \fISLP\fR, and \fIiSNS\fR.
+.PP
+A special discovery type called
+.I fw
+(for firmware) is also supported, for discovering firmware interfaces,
+and populating the interface database in the process.
+.TP
+.B
+SendTargets
+A native iSCSI protocol which allows each iSCSI
+target to send a list of available targets to the initiator.
+.TP
+.B
+SLP
+Optionally an iSCSI target can use the Service Location Protocol (SLP)
+to announce the available targets. The initiator can either implement
+SLP queries directly or can use a separate tool to acquire the
+information about available targets.
+.TP
+.B
+iSNS
+iSNS (Internet Storage Name Service) records information about storage
+volumes within a larger network. To utilize iSNS, pass the address and
+optionally the port of the iSNS server to do discovery to.
+.TP
+.B
+fw
+Firmware mode.
+Several NICs and systems contain a mini iSCSI initiator which can be used
+for boot. To get the values used for boot the \fIfw\fR option can be used.
+Doing \fIfw\fR discovery does not store persistent records in the node or
+discovery DB, because the values are stored in the system's or NIC's
+resource.
+.IP
+Performing \fIfw\fR discovery will print the portals, like with other discovery
+methods. To see other settings like CHAP values and initiator settings,
+like you would in \fInode\fR mode, run \fIiscsiadm \-m fw\fR.
+.P
+Note that the \fISLP\fR implementation is under development and currently
+is not supported.
+.SH EXIT STATUS
+On success 0 is returned. On error one of the return codes below will
+be returned.
+.PP
+Commands that operate on multiple objects (sessions, records, etc),
+iscsiadm/iscsistart will return the first error that is encountered.
+iscsiadm/iscsistart will attempt to execute the operation on the objects it
+can. If no objects are found ISCSI_ERR_NO_OBJS_FOUND is returned.
