ISCSID(8)                Linux Administrator's Manual                ISCSID(8)

NAME
       iscsid - Open-iSCSI daemon

SYNOPSIS
       iscsid [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION
       The iscsid implements the control path of iSCSI protocol, plus some
       management facilities. For example, the daemon could be configured to
       automatically re-start discovery at startup, based on the contents of
       persistent iSCSI database.

OPTIONS
       [-c|--config=]config-file
              Read configuration from config-file rather than the default
              /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file.

       [-i|--initiatorname=]iname-file
              Read initiator name from iname-file rather than the default
              /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi file.

       [-f|--foreground]
              run iscsid in the foreground. Implies --no-pid-file.

       [-d|--debug=]debug_level
              print debugging information. Valid values for debug_level are 0
              to 8.

       [-u|--uid=]uid
              run under user ID uid (default is the current user ID).

       [-g|--gid=]gid
              run under user group ID gid (default is the current user group
              ID).

       [-n|--no-pid-file]
              do not write a process ID file. Conflicts with the --pid=
              option.

       [-p|--pid=]pid-file
              write process ID to pid-file rather than the default
              /run/iscsid.pid. Conflicts with the --no-pid-file option.

       [-h|--help]
              display this help and exit

       [-v|--version]
              display version and exit.
