NAME
iscsi_initiator — kernel driver for the iSCSI protocolSYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:device
iscsi_initiator
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following
line in loader.conf(5):
iscsi_initiator_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
This driver, along
with its userspace counterpart iscontrol(8), is
obsolete. Users are advised to use iscsi(4)
instead.
The iscsi_initiator implements the kernel side of
the Internet SCSI (iSCSI) network protocol standard, the userland companion is
iscontrol(8), and permits access to remote
virtual SCSI devices via
cam(4).
