NAME

       iscsi_discovery - discover iSCSI targets

SYNOPSIS

       iscsi_discovery <IP> [-p <port>] [-d] [-t <tcp|iser> [-f]] [-m] [-l]

DESCRIPTION

       Perform  send-targets  discovery  to  the  specified IP. If a discovery
       record is generated, try to login to the  portal  using  the  preferred
       transport  (-t  flag specifies the requested transport type, TCP is the
       default).  If login using a certain transport succeeds, mark the portal
       for automatic login (unless -m flag is used), and disconnect (unless -l
       flag is used).

       For iSCSI discovery to work, open-iscsi services must be running.  i.e.
       iscsid  should  be  up,  and  the  iSCSI  modules  loaded. This is best
       accomplished by the init.d startup script.

       [-p=]port-number
              set the port number (defualt is 3260).

       [-d]   print debugging information.

       [-t=]transport-type
              set transport (default is tcp).

       [-f]   force specific transport - disable the fallback to tcp  (default
              is  fallback  enabled).   force  the  transport specified by the
              argument of the -t flag.

       [-m]   manual startup - will set manual startup (default  is  automatic
              startup).

       [-l]   login - login to the new discovered nodes (defualt is false).
