The kernel part implements iSCSI data path +(that is, iSCSI Read and iSCSI Write), and consists of three +loadable modules: scsi_transport_iscsi.ko, libiscsi.ko and iscsi_tcp.ko. + +User space contains the entire control plane: configuration +manager, iSCSI Discovery, Login and Logout processing, +connection-level error processing, Nop-In and Nop-Out handling, +and (in the future:) Text processing, iSNS, SLP, Radius, etc. + +The user space Open-iSCSI consists of a daemon process called +iscsid, and a management utility iscsiadm. + +NOTE: +open-isns is a build-time requirement, not a a run-time requirement. |
