Command overview

delete

command.

elements in a table

NOTE:

For a complete list of available command types, use the following help command:
help display_all

NOTE:

Some CLI commands for iSCSI objects refer to an

alias

. The alias is an easy-to-remember 16-character

text string that refers to an object. In some cases, when an object is being added, if the alias is not

specified, it is automatically generated by the CLI. In other cases, you must specify the alias.

Canonical iSCSI target

The predefined iSCSI target alias refers to the canonical iSCSI target, which is used during discovery.

It can be used to configure authentication for discovery sessions.
CLI commands that can refer to the canonical iSCSI target are

set iscsi_keys

,

show iscsi_keys

, and

set

target_chap

. Other commands produce an error if the canonical target is specified. For example,

it is not possible to delete the canonical target.
