Chapter VIII. iSCSI PDU Offload Initiator
Chelsio T5/T4 Unified Wire For Linux Page 144
E.g.:-
iface.iscsi_ifacename = cxgb4i.00:07:43:04:5b:da
iface.hwaddress = 00:07:43:04:5b:da
iface.transport_name = cxgb4i
iface.net_ifacename = eth3
iface.ipaddress = 102.2.2.137
Alternatively, you can create the file automatically by executing the following command:
[root@host]# iscsiadm -m iface
Here,
 iface.iscsi_ifacename denotes the name of interface file in /etc/iscsi/ifaces/.
 iface.hwaddress denotes the MAC address of the Chelsio interface via which iSCSI traffic
will be running.
 iface.transport_name denotes the transport name, which is cxgb4i.
 iface.net_ifacename denotes the Chelsio interface via which iSCSI traffic will be running.
 iface.ipaddress denotes the IP address which is assigned to the interface.
4.1.3. Discovery and Login
i. Starting iSCSI Daemon
Start Daemon from /sbin by using the following command:
[root@host]# iscsid -f -d 3
If iscsid is already running, then kill the service and start it as shown above
after installing the Chelsio Unified Wire package.
Note
i. The interface file needs to be created in /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf.
ii. If iface.ipaddress is specified, it needs to be either the same as the
ethX's IP address or an address on the same subnet. Make sure the IP
address is unique in the network.
