targetctl - Save and restore configuration of kernel target
Contents
Description
targetctl is a low-level script to save and restore the configuration of the LIO kernel target, to and
from a file in json format. It is not normally meant to be used by end-users directly, but by system init
frameworks, or advanced end-users who are generating the configuration file themselves and need a way to
load the configuration without relying on the targetcli configuration shell.

Usage
targetctl must be invoked as root. Exit status will be 0 if successful, or nonzero if an error was
encountered.
targetctlsave[config-file]
Saves the current configuration of the kernel target to a file in json format. Since the file may contain
cleartext passwords, the file's permissions will be set to only allow root access. If config-file is not
supplied, targetctl will use the default file location, /etc/rtslib-fb-target/saveconfig.json.targetctlrestore[config-file]
Removes any existing configuration and replaces it with the configuration described in the file. See
saveconfig.json(5) for more details. If parts of the configuration could not be restored, those parts
will be noted in the error output, and the rest of the configuration will still be applied.
targetctlclear
Removes any existing configuration from the running kernel target.
