targ(4)

NAME

targ - SCSI target emulator driver

SYNOPSIS

device targ

DESCRIPTION

The targ driver provides an interface for usermode programs
to emulate
SCSI target devices. A sample program that emulates a disk
drive (similar to da(4)) can be found in
/usr/share/examples/scsi_target.
The targ driver supplies control devices, /dev/targ0,
/dev/targ1, etc.
If a device is already in use, open(2) will fail and errno
will be set to
EBUSY. After opening the device, the file descriptor must
be bound to a
specific bus/target/LUN and enabled to process CCBs using
the
TARGIOCENABLE ioctl. The process then uses write(2) to send
CCBs to the
SIM and poll(2) or kqueue(2) to see if responses are ready.
Pointers to
completed CCBs are returned via read(2). Any data transfers
requested by
the user CCBs are done via zero-copy IO.

IOCTLS

The following ioctl(2) calls are defined in the header file

TARGIOCENABLE (struct ioc_enable_lun) Enable target
mode on the LUN
specified by the following structure:

struct ioc_enable_lun {
path_id_t path_id;
target_id_t target_id;
lun_id_t lun_id;
int grp6_len;
int grp7_len;
};
The selected path (bus), target, and LUN
must not
already be in use or EADDRINUSE is re
turned. If
grp6_len or grp7_len are non-zero, re
ception of vendor-specific commands is enabled.
TARGIOCDISABLE Disable target mode and abort all pend
ing CCBs. The
CCBs may optionally be read as they com
plete.
TARGIOCENABLE can then be called to ac
tivate a different LUN. Multiple disable calls have
no effect.
The close(2) system call automatically
disables target mode if enabled.
TARGIOCDEBUG (int) Enables CAM_PERIPH debugging if
the argument is
non-zero, otherwise disables it.

FILES

AUTHORS

The targ driver first appeared in FreeBSD 3.0 and was writ
ten by Justin
T. Gibbs. It was rewritten for FreeBSD 5.0 by Nate Lawson
<nate@root.org>.

BUGS

Currently, only the ahc(4) and isp(4) drivers fully support
target mode.
The ahc(4) driver does not support tagged queuing in target
mode.
