FAQ

ISCSI client

iscsi_discovery 192.168.100.32

List connected targets

iscsiadm -m session

which seems to list only one, for multiple:

tgtadm --lld iscsi --op show --mode conn --tid 1

but that needs more work

List targets

iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 192.168.100.32

Connect to target

iscsiadm -m node --targetname="iqn.2018-5.mynet:drbd0" --portal "192.168.100.32" --login

if you get things like "iscsiadm: No records found" try a thing like

iscsiadm --mode node -l all

Disconnect from target

iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2018-5.mynet:drbd0 -p 192.168.100.32 -u

Show session id

iscsiadm -m session -P 1

Show new size of target

iscsiadm -m node --targetname="foo.bar" -R

Disconnect all targets

iscsiadm --mode node -u all

Rescan session

iscsiadm -m session -r SID --rescan⁠

On server

list targets

tgtadm --lld iscsi --mode target --op show

list connected targets

tgtadm --lld iscsi --mode conn --op show --tid 1

And disconnect target:

tgtadm --lld iscsi --op delete --mode conn --tid 1 --sid 2 --cid 0

Create iscsi target

tgtadm --lld iscsi --mode target --op new --tid=1 --targetname iqn.2009-02.com.example:for.all
tgtadm --lld iscsi --mode logicalunit --op new --tid 1 --lun 1 -b /var/tmp/iscsi-disk1

Reload tgtd configuration

tgt-admin --update ALL

or

tgt-admin --update your.irqn.string

Show tgdt config

tgt-admin --dump

The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).

Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.
Falling back to read-only mount because the NTFS partition is in an
unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation
or fast restarting.)

On ESXi

esxcli storage core path list
storage core adapter rescan --adapter=vmhba
