       The lun discovery method is old-fashioned.

       The iscsi_initiator implements the kernel side of the Internet SCSI (iSCSI)  network  protocol  standard,
       the userland companion is iscontrol(8), and permits access to remote virtual SCSI devices via cam(4).

       The iscsi_initiator driver creates the following:

       /dev/iscsi      used to create new sessions.
       /dev/iscsi%d    for each new session.

       To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

             deviceiscsi_initiator

       Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

             iscsi_initiator_load="YES"

debug.iscsi_initiator     set the debug-level, 0 means no debugging, 9 for maximum.

       net.iscsi.isid            the initiator part of the Session Identifier.

       kern.cam.cam_srch_hi=1    allow search above LUN 7 for SCSI3 and greater devices.

       the following are informative only:

       net.iscsi.driver_version  the current version of the driver.

       net.iscsi.sessions        the number of current active sessions.

       net.iscsi.n.targetname    is the targe name of session n.

       net.iscsi.n.targeaddress  is the IP address of the target of session n.

       net.iscsi.n.stats         are some statistics for session nnet.iscsi.n.pid           is the processid of the userland side of session n, see iscontrol(8).
