NAME

       iscsi-swp - Utility to get/set software write protect on an iSCSI LUN

SYNOPSIS

       iscsi-swp [ OPTIONS ] <ISCSI-PORTAL>

       iscsi-ls [-i --initiator-name=<IQN>] [-s --swp {on|off}] [-d --debug=<INTEGER>] [-? --help] [--usage]

DESCRIPTION

       iscsi-swp is a utility to get or set the software write protect on an iSCSI LUN.

ISCSI PORTAL URL FORMAT

       iSCSI portal format is 'iscsi://[<username>[%<password>]@]<host>[:<port>]'

       Username and password are only required if the target requires CHAP authentication. Optionally you can
       specify the username and password via the environment variables LIBISCSI_CHAP_USERNAME and
       LIBISCSI_CHAP_PASSWORD.

       Host can be specified either as a hostname, an IPv4 address or an IPv6 address. Examples:

                iscsi://192.0.2.1
                iscsi://[2001:DB8::1]:3261
                iscsi://ronnie%password@iscsi.example.com

       Port is the TCP port on the target to connect to. Default is 3260.

OPTIONS

       -i --initiator-name=<IQN>
           This specifies the initiator-name that iscsi-ls will use when logging in to the target.

           The default name is 'iqn.2007-10.com.github:sahlberg:libiscsi:iscsi-ls' but you can use this argument
           to override this. This is mainly needed for cases where the target is configured with access-control
           to only allow discovery logins from known initiator-names.

       -s --swp {on|off}
           By default iscsi-swp will only print the current setting of the software write protect bit. By using
           this argument iscsi-swp will also try to set/clear the flag on the target LUN.

               iscsi-swp iscsi://127.0.0.1/iqn.ronnie.test/1
               SWP:0

               SWP:0
               Turning SWP ON

               iscsi-swp iscsi://127.0.0.1/iqn.ronnie.test/1 --swp off
               SWP:0
               Turning SWP OFF

       -d --debug=<INTEGER>
           Debug level.
