NAME

libstmf - SCSI Target Mode Framework library

SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag... ] file... -lstmf [ library... ]
#include <libstmf.h>

DESCRIPTION

Functions in this library provide configuration management of the SCSI
Target Mode Framework (STMF), allowing clients to manage the provisioning
of logical units and targets to the initiator clients of the framework.

Definitions

Host Group

A Host Group is a set of one or more initiator ports that are
combined together for the purposes of applying access controls to a
Logical Unit object and assigning a logical unit number to the
Logical Unit. The assigned logical unit number will be reported to
the members of that Host Group via the SCSI REPORT LUN command. Host
Groups can contain initiator ports that are not visible to the SCSI
Target Mode Framework. Initiator ports might not be a member in more
than one group. A Host Group is associated with a given Logical Unit
via a view entry. Host Group names are unique within the framework.

Logical Unit

A Logical Unit object is provided to the SCSI Target Mode Framework
for the purposes of executing SCSI commands. Library clients can
manage a Logical Unit object's accessibility to one or more SCSI
initiator clients. libstmf library clients cannot add or remove
Logical Unit objects from the system. Every Logical Unit object
within the SCSI Target Mode Framework is owned by a logical unit
provider whose identity is available via the properties on the
Logical Unit object.

Logical Unit Number

A Logical Unit Number is the SCSI identifier of a logical unit within
a target.

Target Port

A Target port object is provided to the SCSI Target Mode Framework
for the purposes of receiving SCSI commands on a particular logical
unit. Library clients can manage a Logical Unit object's availability
to one or more Target port objects. Library clients cannot add or
remove Target objects from the system. Every Target port object
within the SCSI Target Mode Framework is owned by a Local Port
provider whose identity is available via the properties on the Target
port object.

Target Port Group

A Target Port Group is a set of one or more Target ports that are
combined together for the purposes of applying availability to a
Logical Unit object. A Target Port Group may be applied to any given
Logical Unit via a view entry. Target ports may not be a member in
more than one Target Port Group. Target Port Group names are unique
within the framework.

View

A View is a list of logical units exposed to a list of initiator
ports through a list of targets.

View Entry

A View Entry object defines the association of an host group, a
target group and a logical unit number with a specified logical unit.
When a view entry is created for a logical unit, a caller can assign
all targets and/or all initiator ports to the logical unit thus
making the logical unit accessible to all target ports and/or all
initiator ports. A logical unit may have one or more view entries
associated with it. Any two view entries are considered to be in
conflict when an attempt is made to duplicate the association of any
given initiator port, target port and logical unit. Attempting this
will result in an error returned from the call to
stmfAddViewEntry(3STMF).
