OPTIONS

-d --debug <INTEGER>

Set to non-zero value to activate additional debugging messages to be logged.

-f --foreground

Run the daemon in the foreground.

-h --help

Print help text to the screen.

-C --control-port <INTEGER>

This comamnd is used to specify the control port to use for this instance of tgtd. This allows to run multiple instances of TGTD on a host.

TGTADM has a matching argument to control which instance to connect to.

--iscsi <...>

ISCSI specific options. See the ISCSI section below for options specific to this frontend.

ISCSI OPTIONS

These parameters apply only to the iSCSI frontend.  

portal=<ip-address[:port]>

This option is used to bind tgtd to a specific ip-address/portal and/or port. By default tgtd will bind to port 3260 on the wildcard address. The ip-address part (before the ":") can be missing to designate the wildcard address with a none-default port.

Example: to bind tgtd to a specific address and port

        tgtd --iscsi portal=192.0.2.1:3260
      

Example: to bind tgtd to any address but a none-default port

        tgtd --iscsi portal=:3251
