+    <title>Description</title>
+
+    <para><filename>systemd-storagetm.service</filename> is a service that exposes all local block devices as
+    NVMe-TCP mass storage devices. Its primary use-case is to be invoked by the
+    <filename>storage-target-mode.target</filename> unit that can be booted into.</para>
+
+    <para>Warning: the NVMe disks are currently exposed without authentication or encryption, in read/write
+    mode. This means network peers may read from and write to the device without any restrictions. This
+    functionality should hence only be used in a local setup.</para>
+
+    <para>Note that to function properly networking must be configured too. The recommended mechanism to boot
+    into a storage target mode is by adding <literal>rd.systemd.unit=storage-target-mode.target
+    ip=link-local</literal> on the kernel command line. Note that <literal>ip=link-local</literal> only
+    configures link-local IP, i.e. IPv4LL and IPv6LL, which means non-routable addresses. This is done for
+    security reasons, so that only systems on the local link can access the devices. Use
+    <literal>ip=dhcp</literal> to assign routable addresses too. For further details see
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-network-generator.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+    <para>Unless the <option>--all</option> switch is used expects one or more block devices or regular files to expose
+    via NVMe-TCP as argument.</para>
