| iSCSI support for sg3-utils is available from external patches. |
| |
| To build sg3-utils from sources and activate built-in iSCSI support |
| you need both sg3-utils and the external user-space iSCSI library hosted at : |
| |
| https://github.com/sahlberg/libiscsi |
| |
| This library provides a client library for accessing remote iSCSI |
| devices and also comes with patches to the sg3-utils source code |
| distribution to compile a special version of sg3-utils with iSCSI |
| support. |
| |
| No support for iSCSI is provided by the sg3-utils maintainer. |
| |
| |
| |
| Once sg3-utils is compiler and installed with libiscsi support, you |
| can specify remote iSCSI devices through a special URL format instead |
| of the normal /dev/* syntax. |
| |
