You can view the information shown in this table for each current iSCSI session.
Item | Description |
---|---|
Session Identifier (SSID) | A session between an and an iSCSI target that is defined by a session ID that is a data object composed of an initiator part (ISID) and a target part (Target Portal Group Tag). The ISID is specified by the initiator at session establishment. |
Initiator Session ID (ISID) | The initiator part of the session identifier. The ISID is explicitly specified by the initiator during login. |
Target Portal Group Tag (TPGT) | A 16-bit numerical identifier for an iSCSI target portal group. |
Initiator iSCSI name | The worldwide unique name of the initiator. |
Initiator iSCSI label | The user label set in the storage management software. |
Initiator iSCSI alias | A name that also can be associated with an iSCSI node. The alias allows an organization to associate a user-friendly string with the iSCSI name. However, the alias is not a substitute for the iSCSI name. The initiator iSCSI alias only can be set at the host, not in the storage management software. |
Host | The server that runs the storage management software and is connected to the storage subsystems. It controls input and output to the storage subsystems. |
Connection ID (CID) | A unique ID for a connection within the session between the initiator and the target. This ID is generated by the initiator and presented to the target during login requests. The connection ID is also presented during logouts that close connections. |
Ethernet port identifier | The controller and the port that are associated with the connection. |
Initiator IP address | The IP address of the initiator. |
Negotiated login parameters | The parameters that are transacted during the login of the iSCSI session. |
Authentication method | The technique to authenticate users who want access to the iSCSI network. Valid values are CHAP and None. |
Header digest method | The technique to show possible header values for this iSCSI session. HeaderDigest and DataDigest can be either None or CRC32C. The default value for both is None. |
Data digest method | The technique to show possible data values for this iSCSI session. HeaderDigest and DataDigest can be either None or CRC32C. The default value for both is None. |
Maximum connections | The greatest number of connections allowed for this iSCSI session. The maximum number of connections can be 1 through 4. The default value is 1. |
Target alias | The label that is associated with the target. |
Initiator alias | The label that is associated with the initiator. |
Target IP address | The IP address of the target for this iSCSI session. For the initial release of the iSCSI interface, the target address is shown only as a dotted decimal IP address. DNS names are not supported. |
Initial R2T | The initial ready to transfer status. The status can be either Yes or No. |
Maximum burst length | The maximum SCSI payload in bytes for this iSCSI session. The maximum burst length can be from 512 to 262,144 (256 KB). The default value is 262,144 (256 KB). |
First burst length | The SCSI payload in bytes for unsolicited data for this iSCSI session. The first burst length can be from 512 to 131,072 (128 KB). The default value is 65,536 (64 KB). |
Default time to wait | The minimum number of seconds to wait before you attempt to make a connection after a connection termination or a connection reset. The default time to wait value can be from 0 to 3600. The default is 2 |
Default time to retain | The maximum number of seconds that connection is still possible following a connection termination or a connection reset. The default time to retain can be from 0 to 3600. The default value is 20. |
Maximum outstanding R2T | The maximum number of ready to transfers outstanding for this iSCSI session. The maximum outstanding ready to transfer value can be from 1 to 16. The default is 1. |
Error recovery level | The level of error recovery for this iSCSI session. The error recovery level value is always set to 0. |
Maximum receive data segment length | The maximum amount of data that either the initiator or the target can receive in any iSCSI payload data unit (PDU). |
Target name | The official name of the target (not the alias). The target name with the iqn format. |
Initiator name | The official name of the initiator (not the alias). The initiator name that uses either the iqn or eui format. |
