kiscsiadm is an intuitive user-interface for ISCSI fitting into the KDE-Desktop environment. kiscsiadmin project allows target-discovery, login/logout and gives quick access to the connected ISCSI-disks.

The profile-based configuration management makes it comfortable to access several ISCSI-server.

kiscsiadm is the system-administrator's "swiss knife" when it comes to ISCSI. It is a GUI for common ISCSI-actions which are executed by just a few mouse-clicks.

The target-server connections are handled in profiles, which allows to quick switch between multiple, different configurations.

Connected ISCSI-devices (luns), listed by a small device-manager, can be mounted/umounted and accessed in a fast way. The disk-content is displayed via a common file-manager.

kiscsiadm is developed in Qt/c++ (using KDevelop), designed to work with open-iscsi and to fit into the KDE-Desktop environment. It aims to give a user-friendly and powerful graphical-interface to the ISCSI-initiator.

The goal of the project is to popularise ISCSI to more users/end-users.
