.TH ISCSI_GEN_INITIATORNAME 8 "APR 2022" "" "Linux Administrator's Manual"
.SH NAME
iscsi-gen-initiatorname \- smart iSCSI initiator name generation tool
.SH SYNOPSIS
.BI iscsi-gen-initiatorname
[OPTIONS]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.B iscsi-gen-initiatorname
generates an iSCSI Initiator Name in the
.I initiatorname.iscsi
file. It is an error to try to overwrite an existing Initiator Name,
unless the \fB-f\fP (\fIforce\fR) option is supplied.
.P
The Initiator Name will be taken from the kernel command line,
if present (from the \fIrd.initiatorname\fR parameter), else from
the iBFT subsystem (if present in \fIsysfs\fR), else it will be
generated using the \fBiscsi-iname\fR command.
.P
It is an error if both the kernel command-line Initiator Name
and the iBFT Initiator Name are both set, and they are different.
it is also an error to try to write over an Initiator Name file
if it read-only, or to create one if its directory is not writable.
.P
You
.B must
be
.I root
to run this command.
