Manually Adding an iSCSI Target

The iSCSI Target Discovery tab enables you to manually add and log into iSCSI targets.
To manually add an iSCSI target:
1. From the iSCSI Target Discovery tab, click Manually Add Target. The Add iSCSI

Target dialog box appears.

2. Enter the target iSCSI name, target IP address and TCP port number.
3. Specify the Target Login Options and Authentication type you want to use.
4. Check the boot checkbox to add the target as a boot target.
5. Check the auto-login checkbox to log into the target after adding it.
6. Click OK. If the target was successfully added and logged into, the target appears

as ‘Connected’ in the Targets table.

Note: If you add a target with the auto-login checkbox unchecked, a “closed”

target session is created for the target. This allows you to change a manually

added target to a boot target. Unlike “discovered” targets added via a target

portal or iSNS, upon reboot the system attempts to log in to the target even

if the target was not logged in to before the reboot. It is not automatically

removed as is the case with “discovered” targets.

Removing Targets

To remove a target:
1. Log out of all sessions for the target you want to remove.
2. From the iSCSI Target Discovery tab, select the target you want to remove and click

Remove Target.

Viewing Target Sessions

The Target Sessions dialog box enables you to view sessions for a target.

Note: Making a target session a boot session for open-iSCSI implementation in OCM

is not supported. Therefore, when running the Emulex open-iSCSI driver, the

OCM GUI does not display the open-iSCSI boot checkbox on the target session

data screen.

To view sessions for a target:
1. From the iSCSI Target Discovery tab, select the target whose sessions you want to

view and click Target Sessions. The Target Sessions dialog box appears.

2. Use the Session pull-down menu to select the session whose information you want

to view.

3. Click Close to close the dialog box.
