Description-en: iSCSI initiator tools
Open-iSCSI is a high-performance, transport independent, multi-platform
implementation of the RFC3720 Internet Small Computer Systems Interface
(iSCSI).
.
Open-iSCSI is partitioned into user and kernel parts, where the kernel
portion implements the iSCSI data path (i.e. iSCSI Read and iSCSI Write).
The userspace contains the entire control plane:
* Configuration Manager;
* iSCSI Discovery;
* Login and Logout processing;
* Connection level error processing;
* Nop-In and Nop-Out handling;
* (in the future) Text processing, iSNS, SLP, Radius, etc.
.
This package includes a daemon, iscsid, and a management utility,
iscsiadm.
