ISCSI -> (Internet Small Computer System Interface)
iSCSI‑Util is a graphical application designed to simplify the management of iSCSI connections on Linux systems.
It provides a clear and accessible interface for discovering storage targets, establishing sessions, configuring authentication, and reviewing system activity, without requiring direct interaction with command‑line tools.
The goal of the project is to offer a reliable, easy‑to‑use utility that helps administrators and advanced users work with iSCSI in a more intuitive and organized way.
iSCSI‑Util was created to address a common need: managing iSCSI targets and sessions in a way that is both straightforward and visually structured.
While the underlying iSCSI tools are powerful, they can be difficult to use efficiently in day‑to‑day workflows.
This application presents those capabilities through a modern interface that focuses on clarity, safety, and ease of use.
-
Target Discovery
Detect available iSCSI targets on a remote server using a guided workflow. -
Session Management
Connect to and disconnect from targets with clear status information and confirmation steps. -
Authentication Configuration
Set up CHAP and Mutual CHAP credentials on a per‑target basis, with a dedicated overview panel for reviewing all stored configurations. -
System Information and Logs
View relevant log entries and service information to assist with troubleshooting and monitoring. -
Disk Initialization
Prepare newly attached iSCSI disks through a controlled and clearly documented process. -
Persistent Configuration
Store per‑target settings in a structured JSON format, allowing the application to remember and reuse configurations. -
Modern Cross‑Platform Interface
Built with Avalonia, providing a consistent experience across Linux environments.

dotnet runTo function correctly, iSCSI‑Util requires:
- A Linux system with
open-iscsiinstalled systemdfor managing the iSCSI service- Administrative privileges for certain operations (such as connecting to targets or initializing disks)
iSCSI‑Util is organized into several sections, each focused on a specific aspect of iSCSI management:
- Status — Review system‑level information, iSCSI service state, and overall health.
- Targets — Discover and review available iSCSI targets.
- Sessions — Monitor active connections and their status.
- Configuration — Manage authentication and advanced options.
- Logs — Inspect relevant system messages.
Each section is designed to guide the user through the required steps with clear labels, structured layouts, and informative messages.
