e command line interface tools “iscsictl” & “chisns”
iscsictl
iscsictl is the tool Chelsio provides for controlling the iSCSI target. It is a Command Line
Interface (CLI) that is invoked from the console. Its usage is as follows:
iscsictl <options> <mandatory parameters> [optional parameters]
The mandatory and optional parameters are the key=value pair(s) defined in RFC3720, or the
var=const pair(s) defined for Chelsio iSCSI driver implementation. In this document, the
key=value is referred to as “pair”, and var=const is referred to as “parameter” to clarify between
iSCSI protocol‟s pair value(s), and Chelsio iSCSI driver‟s parameter value(s). Note that all
value
and const are case sensitive.
chisns
chisns is the command line tool for controlling the iSNS client. This is a simple tool that starts
the iSNS client with a client and server parameter.
