84 The following options are available:

102 When adding, add all sessions defined in the configuration file.
103 When removing, remove all currently established sessions.
105 Path to the configuration file.
107 .Pa /etc/iscsi.conf .
109 Target host name or address used for SendTargets discovery.
110 When used, it will add a temporary discovery session.
111 After discovery is done, sessions will be added for each discovered target,
112 and the temporary discovery session will be removed.
114 Session ID, as displayed by
118 The "nickname" of session defined in the configuration file.
120 Target portal - host name or address - for statically defined targets.
122 Use iSER (iSCSI over RDMA) instead of plain iSCSI over TCP/IP.
132 Instead of returning immediately, wait up to
134 seconds until all configured sessions are successfully established.
137 Certain parameters are necessary when adding a session.
138 One can specify these either via command line (using the
144 options), or configuration file (using the
149 Some functionality - for example mutual CHAP - is available only

158 flag to wait for session establishment.
160 Note that in order for the iSCSI initiator to be able to connect to a target,
163 daemon must be running.
