ISCSI_GEN_INITIATORNAME(8)

NAME
iscsi-gen-initiatorname - smart iSCSI initiator name generation tool

SYNOPSIS
iscsi-gen-initiatorname [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
iscsi-gen-initiatorname generates a unique iSCSI node name on every invocation. If iBFT is in use, the iBFT-registered initiator name will be used.

If there is an existing initiator name, it will not be overwritten unless the -f option is supplied.

OPTIONS

[-h]
    Display a help message and exit.

[-f]
    Force overwrite of existing initiator name, if present.

[-p]IQN-PREFIX
    Use IQN-PREFIX as the prefix to the IQN generated, instead of the default of iqn.1996-04.de.suse:01.

FILES

/etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi
    The file containing the initiator name. Do not edit manually.
