.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
tgt\-admin is a utility which allows a persistent configuration of targets and luns\&. It uses tgtadm commands to create, delete and show targets\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\fB\-e, \-\-execute\fR
.RS 4
Read /etc/tgt/targets\&.conf and execute tgtadm commands\&. If the target already exists, it won\*(Aqt be processed\&. See \-\-update\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-d, \-\-delete <value>\fR
.RS 4
Delete all or selected targets\&. The target will be deleted only if it\*(Aqs not used (no initiator is connected to it)\&.
.sp
If you want to delete targets which are in use, you have to add the "\-\-force" flag\&.
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
Example usage:
    \-\-delete ALL            \- delete all targets
    \-\-delete tid=4          \- delete target 4
                              (target with tid 4)
    \-\-delete iqn\&.2008\-08\&.com\&.example:some\&.target
                            \- delete this target

.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-offline\fR
.RS 4
Put all or selected targets in offline state\&.

Example usage:
    \-\-offline ALL           \- offline all targets
    \-\-offline tid=4         \- offline target 4
                              (target with tid 4)
    \-\-offline iqn\&.2008\-08\&.com\&.example:some\&.target
                            \- offline this target

\fB\-\-ready\fR
.RS 4
Put all or selected targets in ready state\&.
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}

Example usage:
    \-\-ready ALL             \- ready all targets
    \-\-ready tid=4           \- ready target 4
                              (target with tid 4)
    \-\-ready iqn\&.2008\-08\&.com\&.example:some\&.target

\fB\-\-update <value>\fR
.RS 4
Update all or selected targets\&. The target will be updated only if it\*(Aqs not used (no initiator is connected to it)\&.
.sp
If you want to update targets which are in use, you have to add "\-\-force" flag\&.
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4

Example usage:
    \-\-update ALL             \- ready all targets
    \-\-update tid=4           \- ready target 4
                               (target with tid 4)
    \-\-update iqn\&.2008\-08\&.com\&.example:some\&.target
