TGTD(8)				[FIXME: manual]			       TGTD(8)

NAME
       tgtd - The SCSI Target Daemon

SYNOPSIS
       tgtd

       tgtd [-C --control-port <INTEGER>] [-d --debug <INTEGER>]
	    [-f --foregound] [-h --help] [--iscsi <...>]

DESCRIPTION
       Tgtd is a SCSI Target daemon. It can be used to provide SCSI target
       service to a network. The most common service is iSCSI but other
       services are also supported.

DEVICE TYPES
       Tgtd provides support for both emulated and passthrough of real
       devices.

	       Tgtd can emulate the following types of devices:

	       disk	  : Normal disk device. Emulates a SCSI harddisk.
	       tape	  : Tape device. Emulates a SCSI tape drive.
	       cd	  : CD device. Emulates a SCSI DVD burner.
	       changer	  : Media changer. Emulate the changer device for a virtual tape library or DVD jukebox.

OPTIONS
       -d --debug <INTEGER>
	   Set to non-zero value to activate additional debugging messages to
	   be logged.

       -f --foreground
	   Run the daemon in the foreground.

       -h --help
	   Print help text to the screen.

       -C --control-port <INTEGER>
	   This comamnd is used to specify the control port to use for this
	   instance of tgtd. This allows to run multiple instances of TGTD on
	   a host.

	   TGTADM has a matching argument to control which instance to connect
	   to.

       --iscsi <...>
	   ISCSI specific options. See the ISCSI section below for options
	   specific to this frontend.

ISCSI OPTIONS
       These parameters apply only to the iSCSI frontend.

   portal=<ip-address[:port]>
       This option is used to bind tgtd to a specific ip-address/portal and/or
       port. By default tgtd will bind to port 3260 on the wildcard address.
       The ip-address part (before the ":") can be missing to designate the
       wildcard address with a none-default port.

       Example: to bind tgtd to a specific address and port

		tgtd --iscsi portal=192.0.2.1:3260

       Example: to bind tgtd to any address but a none-default port

		tgtd --iscsi portal=:3251
