NAME

       targetctl - Save and restore configuration of kernel target

DESCRIPTION

       targetctl  is  a  low-level script to save and restore the configuration of the LIO kernel target, to and
       from a file in json format. It is not normally meant to be used by end-users directly, but by system init
       frameworks, or advanced end-users who are generating the configuration file themselves and need a way  to
       load the configuration without relying on the targetcli configuration shell.

USAGE

       targetctl  must  be  invoked  as  root.  Exit  status will be 0 if successful, or nonzero if an error was
       encountered.

       targetctl save [config-file]

       Saves the current configuration of the kernel target to a file in json format. Since the file may contain
       cleartext passwords, the file's permissions will be set to only allow root access. If config-file is  not
       supplied, targetctl will use the default file location, /etc/rtslib-fb-target/saveconfig.json.

       targetctl restore [config-file]

       Removes  any  existing  configuration  and  replaces it with the configuration described in the file. See
       saveconfig.json(5) for more details. If parts of the configuration could not  be  restored,  those  parts
       will be noted in the error output, and the rest of the configuration will still be applied.

       targetctl clear

       Removes any existing configuration from the running kernel target.

       targetctl --help

       Displays usage information.
