iSCSI service management

You can manage the availability of the iSCSI service on the iSCSI logical interfaces of the storage virtual machine (SVM) by using the vserver iscsi interface enable or vserver iscsi interface disable commands.

By default, the iSCSI service is enabled on all iSCSI logical interfaces.

  • How iSCSI is implemented on the host
    iSCSI can be implemented on the host using hardware or software.
  • How iSCSI authentication works
    During the initial stage of an iSCSI session, the initiator sends a login request to the storage system to begin an iSCSI session. The storage system then either permits or denies the login request, or determine that a login is not required.
