where,

<Target_Name> is the target name as displayed in the target list. Use

the iscsicli ListTargets command to display the target list.

<Report_To_PNP> is T, which exposes the LUN to the operating

system as a storage device.

<Target_Portal_Address> is the IP address of the iSCSI port on the

controller being logged in to.

<TCP_Port_Number_Of_Target_Portal> is 3260.

<Login_Flags> is 0x2 to enable multipathing for the target on the

initiator. This value allows more than one session to be logged in to a

target at one time.

<Username> is the initiator name.

<Password> is the target CHAP secret.

<Authtype> is either 0 for no authentication, 1 for Target CHAP, or 2

for Mutual CHAP.

:

NOTE:

<Username>, <Password> and <Authtype> are optional parameters.

They can be replaced with an asterisk (*) if CHAP is not used.

<Mapping_Count> is 0, indicating that no mappings are specified

and no further parameters are required.

* * * An asterisk (*) represents the default value of a parameter.
For example, your log on command might look like this:
iscsicli PersistentLoginTarget iqn.1984-
05.com.dell:powervault.6001372000ffe3332xx0000046
72edf2 3260 T 192.168.130.101 * * * 0x2 * * * * *
* * * * 0
To view active sessions to the target, run the following command:
iscsicli SessionList
To support storage array controller failover, the host server must be connected

to at least one iSCSI port on each controller. Repeat step 3 for each iSCSI

port on the storage array that you want to establish as a failover target. The

Target_ Portal_Address is different for each port you connect to.
