TARGET COMMANDS

The Target commands represent a protocol-specific endpoint for SCSI communication. Initiators
connect to targets via a discovered network address. See also

Port Commands

.

target:create

Manually creates a target, specifying a name and optionally specifying a UUID for the target. The
UUID field accepts WWPNs (such as

f8:e9:d2:c3:b4:a5:f6:e7

), IQNs (such as

iqn.1992-

01.com.example:storage.disk2.sys1.xyz[3]

), and GIDs (such as

0ab0:0ab0:0ab0:0ab0:0ab0:0ab0:0ab0:0ab0

).
