DESCRIPTION
The itadm command manages Internet SCSI (iSCSI) target nodes
within the SCSI Target Mode Framework described instmfadm(1M) and libstmf(3LIB). This allows the iSCSI ini-
tiators to access STMF logical units using the iSCSI proto-
col. 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 itssubcommands, itadm has a help command, which displays the
utility's usage information. The help command is invokedwith 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 aniSCSI 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 therange 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 ContextsCertain operations such as authentication by means of Chal-
lenge 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 byits Initiator Node Name, formatted in either IQN or EUI for-
mat (see RFC 3720). For example:iqn.1986-03.com.sun:01:e00000000000.47d55444

System Administration Commands itadm(1M)
Specifying IP AddressesA 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]:3260SUB-COMMANDS
The following are the itadm subcommands with their options.
itadm create-target
itadm create-target [-a,--auth-method radius | chap | none | default]
[-s,--chap-secret]
[-S,--chap-secret-file path] [-u,--chap-user chap-user-name]
[-n,--node-name target_node_name] [-l,--alias alias]
[-t,--tpg tpg-name[,tpg-name,...]]
Create a iSCSI target with the specified options. Options are as follows.-a,--auth-method radius | chap | none | default
Specifies the authentication method to use for the tar-
get. Valid values are radius, chap, and none. chap indi-
cates that initiators connecting to this target must beauthenticated using the Challenge Handshake Authentica-
tion Protocol (CHAP). radius indicates initiators should also be authenticated by means of CHAP but the required authentication parameters should be obtained from acentral RADIUS server (see the radius-server and
radius-secret options). none means that no authentica-
tion 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 authentica-
tion. There is no default for this property. Maximum length is 255 characters; minimum required length is 12 characters.SunOS 5.11 Last change: 4 Aug 2009 3

-S,--chap-secret-file path
Path to a temporary file containing the CHAP secret asdescribed 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.
