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.
