* iscsiadm: add new discovery modeMike Christie2010-07-011-9/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I really screwed up the old discovery mode record handling. This adds a discovery2 mode, which adds back the old features that got killed over time, and supports the new ones. iscsiadm -m discovery2 -t st -p ip:port --discover will discover targets like before. Note that you must pass in the --discover argument. This will try to read a record for [-t st -p ip:port]. If found it will use those settings. If not found then it will create a record using iscsid.conf discovery.* settings and use them. Note that iscsiadm -m discovery2 -t st -p ip:port will no longer perform discovery (yuou must pass the --discover arguement), because the type and portal [-t st -p ip:port] is now used as the record id. So the above command will now print out the record values. What is being added is discovery record support. iscsiadm -m discovery2 -o new -t st -p ip:port will create a record for [-t st -p ip:port]. You can then use iscsiadm -m discovery2 -o -t st -p ip:port -o update \ -n name -v value to set the settings for the discovery record with id [-t st -p ip:port]. You can also then do more advanced commands like before iscsiadm -m discovery2 -t st -p ip:port -o new -o delete --discover will do discovery and add new portals and delete portals that are no longer returned.
* iscsiadm: fix discovery record managementMike Christie2010-07-011-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We recently added the ability to use and update discovery records. when this was done, we had iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p ip:port use the record value if found. This will break compat with older releases and it is a little strange because iscsiadm -m discovery -p ip:port [ -o ... | -l ] works on or uses the discovery record. So this patch reverts iscsiadm behavior so that iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p ip:port uses the iscsid.conf settings, and adds a new --discover|-D command that can be used to force discovery. iscsiadm -m discovery -p ip:port --discover will force discovery using the record with the ID ip:port.
* iscsi tools: use open-isns servicesMike Christie2010-03-221-6/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces the native isns code with open-isns's libisns. I included the open-isns code in the open-iscsi tarball to make distribution easier since some distros use different isns clients and may not want to carry open-isns. This is based on open-isns commit 5e09f36d3446e41de0b8361601ffec4cd140d513. Changes in iSNS behavior/use: - To do discovery you must pass the ip and optionally the port to iscsiadm: iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p 10.15.0.9 This command accepts the same ops as sendtargets so you can add/remove/update the node records that are created. It also supports ifaces properly now. - isns.address and isns.port in iscsid.conf are no longer used. - ESI is temporarily not supported. This will be fixed in the next patch when SCNs support is added. - The iscsiadm isns discovery command is not marked as stable. Signed-off-by: Mike Christie <michaelc@cs.wisc.edu>
* iscsiadm: add nonpersistent mode to discovery modeMike Christie2010-03-221-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The default behavior for iscsiadm discovery mode is to store the portals found in the node DB. This adds a op "nonpersistent" to run iscsiadm discovery in a nonpersistent mode. In thos mode iscsiadm will not access the node DB. iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p ip -o nonpersistent will just print out the portals found. icssiadm -m discovery -t st -p ip -o nonpersistent -l will print out the portals found and login. If this command is run to logout you must run in session mode. iscsiadm -m session -u would logout all the sessions.

* iscsiadm: fix discovery record useMike Christie2009-10-111-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | iscsiadm is not using the discovery record settings. This has iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p ip:port search for a discovery setting for ip:port. If found it will use those values for discovery. Previously it would always use the iscsid.conf settings. To change the discovery settings for a record you can do iscsiadm -m discovery -p ip:port -o update -n setting_name -v value like in node mode. Or you can completely remove the discovery record and targets found through it by doing iscsiadm -m discovery -p ip:port -o delete then run the discovery command which will then use the iscsid.conf values and create a new discovery record.

* Fix transport_name compat support.Mike Christie2008-06-131-7/+8
| | | | | | | | This lists the default iface stuff as unstable and adds back support for node.transport_name and iface.transport_name. We will not merge Doran's patch for now because I just do not have time to deal with regressions., but I am adding in a hack to make sure we do not change the transport name while a session is running.
* disable iscsi_discovery qla4xxx supportMike Christie2008-04-081-1/+1
| | | | | | iscsi_discovery is not familiar with qla4xxx and cannot just set the transport name for it. This patch removes mentions of qla4xxx in the script.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From Doron: Add additional flag: -t set trasnpot (default is tcp). -f force specific transport -disable the fallback to tcp (default is fallback enabled). force the transport specified by the argument of the -t flag. -m manual startup - will set manual startup (default is automatic startup). -l login - login to the new discovered nodes (defualt is false).

* Add options to modify the db manipulation behavior during discoveryMike Christie2008-02-201-7/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of overwriting existing node records, you can modify the behavior by passing in different ops. Pass -o new to add new nodes. Pass -o delete to delete stale ones. Pass -o update to update the records of existing nodes. And pass combos of different ops for different behavior. Signed-off-by: Mike Christie <michaelc@cs.wisc.edu>
* Add iscsiadm -m fw -l commandMike Christie2008-01-221-2/+2
| | | | | | We can do iscsiadm -m node -l, and this logs into all the portals in the db. This patch adds the equivalent for fw mode.
* add SIGTERM iscsid handler and iscsiadm command to stop iscsidMike Christie2007-10-291-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | You can now do killall iscsid or iscsiadm -k 0 to stop iscsid. This should not normally be done, because iscsid is required for normal initiator behavior. It is mostly for testing, iscsi boot or system shutdown. TODO: - more testing. I am pretty sure the original code is broken. For exmaple sending a SIGTERM to the log process then the daemon process will cause semop errors.
* fix up iscsiadm's debug_level documentationMike Christie2007-08-011-6/+6

* fix iscsid debug option documentationMike Christie2007-07-311-2/+2

* make fw bits more iscsiadmishMike Christie2007-07-251-4/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This make the fw bits more iscsiadmish (adds new fw mode), and adds iscsiadm man page documentation. If you run iscsiadm -m discovery -t fw This will print out the portals in the fw. If you run iscsiadm -m discovery -t fw -l This will print them out and log into them. If you run iscsiadm -m fw This will print out the all fw values we copied in the open-iscsi node format, so tools can parse them like normal old node/discovery records.

| | | | | | iface (driver and hardware are bound). Also merge the -D and -I arguments so they are now -I driver,hwaddress. Also add some basic qla4xxx support. We can rescan/scan it and perform sendtargets through it but it stores the targets it finds in Flash and then logs into all of them autmatically (when we do discovery and later when reload the driver). So qla4xxx support is mostly to make sure we have the --interfae argument right. We will have to decide how to set other params, manage nodes, and if we should move scanning to the kernel and then also move some error recovery code to the kernel (today qla4xxx is calling block directly and is not able to export it iscsi state yet (the beginnings to fix that is in the git tree but we still need to reduce some code duplcation)). qla4xxx behavior and functionality is going to change as we learn more about the hw (what format the flash data is supposed to be in for example). git-svn-id: svn://svn.berlios.de/open-iscsi@816 d7303112-9cec-0310-bdd2-e83a94d6c2b6
