manual: Split out the topics of converted manpages into separate files and generate ditamap files for each manpage to avoid needing to hardcode anything in UserManual.xml. This means that the topics inside a manpage can be supressed from the toc, but otoh, they get numbered (with 4.x). The per-topic files are named by refentry/refsect1/refsect2 @id and are currently not cleaned up by 'kmk clean'. bugref:10302

9 iSCSI stands for <i>Internet SCSI</i> and is a
10 standard that supports use of the SCSI protocol over Internet
11 (TCP/IP) connections. Especially with the advent of Gigabit
12 Ethernet, it has become affordable to attach iSCSI storage servers
13 simply as remote hard disks to a computer network. In iSCSI
14 terminology, the server providing storage resources is called an
15 <i>iSCSI target</i>, while the client connecting to
16 the server and accessing its resources is called an
17 <i>iSCSI initiator</i>.

20 Oracle VM VirtualBox can transparently present iSCSI remote storage to a
21 virtual machine as a virtual hard disk. The guest OS will not see
22 any difference between a virtual disk image (VDI file) and an
23 iSCSI target. To achieve this, Oracle VM VirtualBox has an integrated
24 iSCSI initiator.

27 Oracle VM VirtualBox's iSCSI support has been developed according to the
28 iSCSI standard and should work with all standard-conforming iSCSI
29 targets. To use an iSCSI target with Oracle VM VirtualBox, you must use
30 the command line. See <xref href="vboxmanage-storageattach.dita"/>.
