Description

Additional interface with iSCSI specifics for top-level manager singleton object located at the object path /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/Manager.

Since 2.0.1

Method Details

The GetFirmwareInitiatorName() method

GetFirmwareInitiatorName (OUT s result);

Returns the iSCSI firmware initiator name.

OUT s result:

The iSCSI firmware initiator name.

Since 2.4.0

The GetInitiatorName() method

GetInitiatorName (OUT s result);

Returns a iSCSI initiator name.

Note: Initiator name can contain non UTF-8 characters. In this case this function will return "Invalid UTF-8" string. Use org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Manager.ISCSI.Initiator:GetInitiatorNameRaw to get raw, undecoded initiator name.

OUT s result:

The iSCSI initiator name.

Since 2.0.1

The GetInitiatorNameRaw() method

GetInitiatorNameRaw (OUT ay result);

Returns an iSCSI initiator name as a raw NULL terminated byte array.

OUT ay result:

The iSCSI initiator name.

Since 2.8.3

The SetInitiatorName() method

SetInitiatorName (IN  s     name,
                  IN  a{sv} options);

Sets a new iSCSI initiator name. This is typically done by populating the /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi file.

The iscsid service needs to be restarted afterwards to reflect the change (if running). This is however distribution-specific and not performed by UDisks at this moment.

No additional options are currently defined.

`IN s name`:	The new iSCSI initiator name.
`IN a{sv} options`:	Additional options.

Since 2.1.3

The DiscoverSendTargets() method

DiscoverSendTargets (IN  s        address,
                     IN  q        port,
                     IN  a{sv}    options,
                     OUT a(sisis) nodes,
                     OUT i        nodes_cnt);

Performs targets' discovery with no authentication data.

If the option username is provided, then the username and password will be used for CHAP authentication.

If the option reverse-username is provided, the the reverse-username and reverse-password will be used for CHAP authentication.

`IN s address`:	Hostname or IP-address to connect to.
`IN q port`:	Port to connect to, or 0 for the default port.
`IN a{sv} options`:	Additional options.
`OUT a(sisis) nodes`:	Discovered nodes.
`OUT i nodes_cnt`:	The number of found nodes.

Since 2.3.1

The DiscoverFirmware() method

DiscoverFirmware (IN  a{sv}    options,
                  OUT a(sisis) nodes,
                  OUT i        nodes_cnt);

Performs targets' discovery using firmware (ppc or ibft).

No additional options are currently defined.

`IN a{sv} options`:	Additional options.
`OUT a(sisis) nodes`:	Structure containing discovered targets (name, tpgt, address, port, iface).
`OUT i nodes_cnt`:	The number of found nodes.

Since 2.1.3

The Login() method

Login (IN  s     name,
       IN  i     tpgt,
       IN  s     address,
       IN  i     port,
       IN  s     iface,
       IN  a{sv} options);

If the option username is provided, then the username and password will be used for CHAP authentication.

If the option reverse-username is provided, the the reverse-username and reverse-password will be used for CHAP authentication.

All the additional options are transformed into the interface parameters. For example, if an automatic node startup is desired, the node.startup needs to be set to 'automatic' (default value is 'manual').

`IN s name`:	iSCSI iqn for the node.
`IN i tpgt`:	Portal group number.
`IN s address`:	Portal hostname or IP-address.
`IN i port`:	Portal port number.
`IN s iface`:	Interface to connect through.
`IN a{sv} options`:	Additional options.

Since 2.1.3

The Logout() method

Logout (IN  s     name,
        IN  i     tpgt,
        IN  s     address,
        IN  i     port,
        IN  s     iface,
        IN  a{sv} options);

Logout of the iSCSI node described by the given node properties.

All the additional options are transformed into the interface parameters. For example, if an automatic node startup is not desired, the node.startup needs to be set to 'manual'.

`IN s name`:	iSCSI iqn for the node.
`IN i tpgt`:	Portal group number.
`IN s address`:	Portal hostname or IP-address.
`IN i port`:	Portal port number.
`IN s iface`:	Interface to logout.
`IN a{sv} options`:	Additional options.

Since 2.1.3
