Description
The itadm command manages Internet SCSI (iSCSI) target nodes within the SCSI Target Mode Framework described in stmfadm(1M) and libstmf(3LIB). This allows the iSCSI initiators to access STMF logical units using the iSCSI protocol. In addition to iSCSI target nodes, itadm manages two other classes of managed objects: iSCSI Target Portal Groups, and iSCSI Initiator Node Contexts.
itadm is implemented as a set of subcommands with options and operands for each subcommand. These subcommands are described in their own section, below. In addition to its subcommands, itadm has a help command, which displays the utility's usage information. The help command is invoked with the -? option.
iSCSI Target Portal Groups
An iSCSI Target Network Portal is an IP address and TCP port that can be used by an initiator node to connect to an iSCSI target. A collection of these portals is called a Target Portal Group (TPG). You can use a TPG to limit access to an iSCSI target. Use the itadm modify -t command to bind a specific iSCSI target to the TPG. An iSCSI listener is created on each IP address that belongs to the TPG, and listens for connections to the iSCSI target.
A TPG is identified by a unique name provided when the TPG is created. A numerical “Target Portal Group Tag” from the range 2-65535 is automatically generated when the TPG is created. The Target Portal Group Tag 1 is reserved for the “default” target portal group that is used when no explicit Target Portal Groups are set on the target. The portal for the default TPG matches requests from all network interfaces on port 3260.
iSCSI Initiator Node Contexts
Certain operations such as authentication by means of Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) require parameters associated with a remote iSCSI Initiator Node. These parameters are associated with an iSCSI Initiator Node Context. An iSCSI Initiator Node Context is identified by its Initiator Node Name, formatted in either IQN or EUI format (see RFC 3720). For example:
iqn.1986-03.com.sun:01:e00000000000.47d55444 eui.02004567A425678D |
Specifying IP Addresses
A number of itadm subcommands require that you specify one or more IP addresses with optional port numbers. For IPv4, use standard dotted decimal notation. For IPv6, enclose addresses in square brackets. The following are example specifications.
IPv4: 10.2.4.1
10.2.4.1:3260
IPv6: [1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A]
[1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A]:3260

Sub-commands
- -a,--auth-method radius | chap | none | default
-
Specifies the authentication method to use for the target. Valid values are radius, chap, and none. chap indicates that initiators connecting to this target must be authenticated using the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP). radius indicates initiators should also be authenticated by means of CHAP but the required authentication parameters should be obtained from a central RADIUS server (see the radius-server and radius-secret options). none means that no authentication is required to connect to the target. default means the target will use the global setting of this property. (See the modify-defaults subcommand.)
- -s,--chap-secret
-
The CHAP secret to send during mutual CHAP authentication. There is no default for this property. Maximum length is 255 characters; minimum required length is 12 characters.
- -S,--chap-secret-file path
-
Path to a temporary file containing the CHAP secret as described in the -s option.
- -u,--chap-user chap-user-name
-
Specifies the CHAP username for a target for use in mutual CHAP authentication. This value is allowed only for targets, cannot be set globally, and is used only when the initiator node is configured to use mutual CHAP authentication. If no value is specified then the target node name is used as the username. See iscsiadm(1M).
- -n,--node-name target_node_name
-
An iSCSI Target Node is identified by its Target Node Name, formatted in either IQN or EUI format (see RFC 3720). This option establishes that name.
- -l,--alias alias
-
An alternate identifier associated with a target node. The identifier does not need to be unique.
- -t,--tpg tpg-name[,tpg-name,...]
-
A list of Target Portal Group (TPG) identifiers that specifies the TPGs that an initiator can use to access a specific target or the keyword default. If default is specified, the target will use the default portal, INADDR_ANY:3260.
- -a,--auth-method radius | chap | none | default
-
As described under the create-target subcommand, above.
- -s,--chap-secret
-
As described under the create-target subcommand, above.
- -S,--chap-secret-file path
-
As described under the create-target subcommand, above.
- -u,--chap-user chap-user-name
-
As described under the create-target subcommand, above. To remove an explicitly set CHAP username use -u none.
- -n,--node-name target_node_name
-
Renames the target. See also the description of -n under the create-target subcommand, above.
- -l,--alias alias
-
As described under the create-target subcommand, above. To remove an explicitly set alias use -l none.
- -t,--tpg tpg-name[,tpg-name,...]
-
As described under the create-target subcommand, above.
- -v,--verbose
-
Verbose mode.
- -f,--force
-
If the target persists in an online state, this option attempts to offline the target before deleting it.
- -v,--verbose
-
Verbose mode.
- -f,--force
-
If the TPG is associated with any targets, the request to delete will be denied unless this option is specified.
- -s,--chap-secret
-
As described under the create-target subcommand, above.
- -S,--chap-secret-file path
-
As described under the create-target subcommand, above.
- -u,--chap-user chap-user-name
-
Specifies the CHAP username for an initiator, for use in CHAP authentication. If no value is specified then the initiator node name is used as the username.
- -s,--chap-secret
-
As described under the create-target subcommand, above.
- -S,--chap-secret-file path
-
As described under the create-target subcommand, above.
- -u,--chap-user chap-user-name
-
Specifies the CHAP username for an initiator, for use in CHAP authentication. If no value is specified then the initiator node name is used as the username.
- -v,--verbose
-
Verbose mode.
- -a,--auth-method radius | chap | none
-
Specifies the default authentication method to use for all targets. Valid values are radius, chap, and none. chap indicates that initiators connecting to this target must be authenticated using Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP). radius indicates initiators should also be authenticated by means of CHAP, but the required authentication parameters should be obtained from a central RADIUS server. (See --radius-server and --radius-secret options.) none means that no authentication is required to connect to the target. Individual targets can override this global setting using the -a option of the create-target and modify-target subcommands.
- -d,--radius-secret
-
RADIUS Shared Secret for centralized CHAP authentication.
- -D,--radius-secret-file path
-
Path to a temporary file containing the CHAP secret as described in the -d option.
- -i,--sns enable | disable
-
Specifies whether targets should be registered with the set of defined iSCSI Name Service (iSNS) servers.
- -I,--isns-server IP-address[:port][,IP-address[:port],...]
-
Defines a list of iSNS servers with which iSCSI target nodes will be registered when the isns option associated with the respective target is set. Up to eight iSNS servers can be specified. To remove all iSNS servers, use -I none.
- -r,--radius-server IP-address[:port]
-
Specify the IP address of the RADIUS server used for centralized CHAP authentication.
