Viewing the targets
This section provides instructions on how you can view the targets. You can use the iSCSI > Target Show command to view all the discovered targets or the connected targets.
To view the connected targets
- Open a Secure Shell (SSH) session to log on to the appliance as an administrator.
- Navigate to the Main_Menu > Settings > iSCSI menu.
- Type the command Target Show Connected and press Enter.
- The list of connected targets is displayed in the following manner:
Showing the connected targets... +-----+------------+-----------------------+----------------------+--------+ | No. | Session ID | Target IQN | Target Portal Address| Status | +-----+------------+-----------------------+----------------------|--------+ | 1 | 5 |iqn.1996-03.veritas:abc| 10.121.37.51:3260 | Online 1 | +-----+------------+-----------------------+----------------------+--------+
The Status of the session can be either Online or Offline. The Status can be Offline if a cable is pulled or if there are network connectivity issues.
To view all the available targets
- Open a Secure Shell (SSH) session to log on to the appliance as an administrator.
- Navigate to the Main_Menu > Settings > iSCSI menu.
- Type the command Target Show All and press Enter.
- A list of all the discovered targets is displayed in the following manner:
Showing all the targets... +-----+------------------------|---------------------|-----------+ | No. | Target IQN |Target Portal Address|Interfaces | +-----+------------------------|---------------------|-----------| | 1 |iqn.1996-03.veritas:abc | 10.121.98.22:3260 | iscsi1 | +-----+------------------------|---------------------|-----------| | 2 |iqn.1996-03.veritas:xyz | 10.121.98.23:3260 | iscsi1 | +-----+------------------------|---------------------|-----------+ | 3 |iqn.1996-03.veritas:host| 10.121.98.24:3260 | iscsi1 | ------|------------------------|---------------------|-----------|
Note:
When targets are discovered by using iSNS on two iSCSI interfaces, only the recent record is displayed by the Target Show All command. For example, if you run the Target Discover iSNS command for iscsi1 and then iscsi2, the Interfaces column in the Target Show All command may not show both the interfaces (iscsi1, iscsi2) for some targets. It actually shows the interface from the most recent command (iscsi2 in this case) for some targets.
