  • vserver iscsi create

    Create a Vserver’s iSCSI service

    Availability: This command is available to cluster and Vserver administrators at the admin privilege level.

    Description

    This command creates an iSCSI target for a specified Vserver. By default the system creates a default iSCSI target name with the status-admin set to enabled. Until you create an iSCSI service, iSCSI initiators cannot log into the Vserver.

    Parameters

    -vserver <Vserver Name> - Vserver

    Specifies the Vserver for the iSCSI service.

    [-target-name <text>] - Target Name

    Specifies a iSCSI target name of a Vserver. This name is unique and is not case sensitive. The target name must conform to this format iqn.1995-08.com.example:string and the following rules:

    • Contains up to 128 bytes.

    • Contains alphanumeric characters. The period ".", hyphen "-", and colon ":" are acceptable.

    • Does not contain the underscore character "_".

    [-target-alias <text>] - Target Alias

    Specifies an iSCSI target alias name of a Vserver. The maximum number of characters for an alias name is 128. The alias default name is the Vserver name.

    [-status-admin {down|up}] - Administrative Status

    Specifies the administrative status of the iSCSI service of a Vserver. If you set this parameter to up, the command creates an iSCSI service with the administrative status of up. If you set this parameter to down, the command creates an iSCSI service with the administrative status of down.

    [-retain-timeout <integer>] - RFC3720 DefaultTime2Retain Value (in sec)

    Specifies the wait time before an active task reassignment is possible after an unexpected connection termination. For example, a value of 0 means that the connection or task state is immediately discarded by the target. The default is 20 seconds.

    [-login-timeout <integer>] - Login Phase Duration (in sec)

    Specifies the login phase duration. The default is 15 seconds.

    [-max-conn-per-session <integer>] - Max Connections per Session

    Specifies the maximum number of connections per session that a target can accept. The default is 4 connections.

    [-max-ios-per-session <integer>] - Max Commands per Session

    Specifies the maximum number of commands per session that a target can accept. The default is 128 commands per session.

    [-tcp-window-size <integer>] - TCP Receive Window Size (in bytes)

    Specifies the TCP receive window size (in bytes). The default is 131,400 bytes.

    [-f, -force <true>] - Allow Non-Vendor Target Name

    Force the command to accept a target name that would normally be rejected as invalid.

    Examples

    cluster1::> vserver iscsi create -vserver vs_1

    Creates the iSCSI service for Vserver vs_1.
