The number (n) after the ID or HD identifier specifies the ID number for that device. The optional number (u) specifies the LUN (logical unit) for that device. The default LUN is 0.
The piscsi log level (trace, debug, info, warn, err, off). The default log level is 'info' for all devices unless a particular device ID and an optional LUN was provided.
Enable authentication and read the access token from the specified file. The access token file must be owned by root and must be readable by root only.
Scan for image files recursively, up to a depth of SCAN_DEPTH. Depth 0 means to ignore any folders within the default image filder. Be careful when using this option with many sub-folders in the default image folder. The default depth is 1.
Set the vendor, product and revision for the device, to be returned with the INQUIRY data. A complete set of name components must be provided. VENDOR may have up to 8, PRODUCT up to 16, REVISION up to 4 characters. Padding with blanks to the maxium length is automatically applied. Once set the name of a device cannot be changed.
The optional case-insensitive device type (SAHD, SCHD, SCRM, SCCD, SCMO, SCBR, SCDP, SCLP, SCHS). If no type is specified for devices that support an image file, piscsi tries to derive the type from the file extension.
FILE is the name of the image file to use for the SCSI device. For devices that do not support an image file (SCBR, SCDP, SCLP, SCHS) the filename may have a special meaning or a dummy name can be provided. For SCBR and SCDP it is an optioinal prioritized list of network interfaces, an optional IP address and netmask, e.g. "interface=eth0,eth1,wlan0:inet=10.10.20.1/24". For SCLP it is the print command to be used and a reservation timeout in seconds, e.g. "cmd=lp -oraw %f:timeout=60".
