+.Sh NAME
+.Nm iscsi.conf
+.Nd ISCSI daemon configuration file
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Xr iscsid 8
+daemon implements the Internet Small Computer Systems Interface as described
+in RFC 3720.
+.Sh SECTIONS
+The
+.Nm
+configuration file is divided into three main sections:
+.Bl -tag -width xxxx
+.It Sy Macros
+User-defined variables may be defined and used later, simplifying the
+configuration file.
+.It Sy Global Configuration
+Global settings for
+.Xr iscsid 8 .
+.It Sy Target Configuration
+Target-specific parameters.
+.El
+.Pp
+With the exception of macros,
+the sections should be grouped and appear in
+.Nm
+in the order shown above.
+.Pp
+The current line can be extended over multiple lines using a backslash
+.Pq Sq \e .
+Comments can be put anywhere in the file using a hash mark
+.Pq Sq # ,
+and extend to the end of the current line.
+Care should be taken when commenting out multi-line text:
+the comment is effective until the end of the entire block.
+.Pp
+Argument names not beginning with a letter, digit, or underscore
+must be quoted.
+.Pp
+Additional configuration files can be included with the
+.Ic include
+keyword, for example:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+include "/etc/iscsi-target.conf"
+.Ed
+.Sh MACROS
+Macros can be defined that will later be expanded in context.
+Macro names must start with a letter, digit, or underscore,
+and may contain any of those characters.
+Macro names may not be reserved words (for example,
+.Ic target ,
+or
+.Ic port ) .
+Macros are not expanded inside quotes.
+.Pp
+For example:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+target1="1.2.3.4"
+target "disk1" {
+ targetaddr $target1
+}
+.Ed
+.Sh GLOBAL CONFIGURATION
+There are a few settings that affect the operation of the
+.Xr iscsid 8
+daemon globally.
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width Ds -compact
+.It Xo
+.Ic isid
+.Pq Ic oui Ns | Ns Ic en Ns | Ns Ic rand
+.Ar base Ar qual
+.Xc
+The Initiator Session ID
+.Ic isid
+specifies the initiator part of the Session Identifier.
+It is set during startup of
+.Xr iscsid 8
+and is used for session reinstatement.
+By default a random
+.Ic isid
+is generated on startup.
+The random
+.Ic rand
+form has a 24-bit random number as
+.Ar base
+and a 16-bit
+.Ar qual
+qualifier.
+The
+.Ic oui
+format uses a 22-bit
+.Ar base
+OUI and a 24-bit
+.Ar qual
+qualifier.
+The IANA enterprise number format
+.Ic en
+uses the 24-bit enterprise number in
+.Ar base
+and a 16-bit
+.Ar qual
+qualifier.
+.El
+.Sh TARGET CONFIGURATION
+.Xr iscsid 8
+establishes TCP connections to iSCSI targets.
+Each target is specified by a
+.Em target
+section, which allows properties to be set specifically for that target:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+target disk1 {
+ targetaddr 10.0.0.2
+ targetname "iqn.1994-04.org.netbsd.iscsi-target:target:0"
+}
+.Ed
+.Pp
+There are several target properties:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Op Ic disabled Ns | Ns Ic enabled
+No session will be established to the target if
+.Ic disabled
+is set.
+The default value is
+.Ic enabled .
+.It Op Ic discovery Ns | Ns Ic normal
+Define the type of session that will be established.
+It is possible to initiate a special
+.Ic discovery
+session to a target to enumerate the available volumes.
+.It Xo
+.Ic initiatoraddr Ar addr
+.Op Ic inet Ns | Ns Ic inet6
+.Op Ic port Ar num
+.Xc
+When
+.Xr iscsid 8
+initiates the TCP connection to the target system, it normally does not
+bind to a specific IP address and port.
+If an
+.Ic initiatoraddr
+is given,
+it binds to this address first.
+.It Ic initiatorname Ar string
+Specify the
+.Ic initiatorname
+used to connect to the remote target.
+The
+.Ic initiatorname
+can be used to restrict access to a target.
+If not given
+.Xr iscsid 8
+will use
+.Em iqn.1995-11.org.openbsd.iscsid
+as default.
+.It Xo
+.Ic targetaddr Ar addr
+.Op Ic inet Ns | Ns Ic inet6
+.Op Ic port Ar num
+.Xc
+Define the target IP address which
+.Xr iscsid 8
+should connect to.
+By default port 3260 will be used.
+.It Ic targetname Ar string
+The
+.Ic targetname
+specifies which LUN or disk should be requested by
+.Xr iscsid 8 .
+It is possible to enumerate remote systems with a
+.Ic discovery
+session.
