            "content": "Perform  send-targets  discovery to the specified IP. If a discovery record is generated, try\nto login to the portal using the preferred transport (-t flag specifies the requested  trans‐\nport type, TCP is the default).  If login using a certain transport succeeds, mark the portal\nfor automatic login (unless -m flag is used), and disconnect (unless -l flag is used).\n\nFor iSCSI discovery to work, open-iscsi services must be running. i.e. iscsid should  be  up,\nand the iSCSI modules loaded. This is best accomplished by the init.d startup script.\n\n\n[-p=]port-number\nset the port number (default is 3260).\n\n[-d]   print debugging information.\n\n[-t=]transport-type\nset transport (default is tcp).\n\n[-f]   force  specific transport - disable the fallback to tcp (default is fallback enabled).\nforce the transport specified by the argument of the -t flag.\n\n\n[-m]   manual startup - will set manual startup (default is automatic startup).\n\n[-l]   login - login to the new discovered nodes (default is false).\n\n",
