INITIATOR COMMANDS

The Initiator commands enable you to create, delete, list, get information for, and update remote
SCSI initiators.

initiator:create

Manually creates an initiator, directly specifying a unique identifier for port, as well as an optional
name. If performed in an HA cluster, the initiator definition is created across each machine in the
cluster. This command accepts WWPNs (such as

), IQNs (such as

iqn.1992-01.com.example:storage.disk2.sys1.xyz) or GUID identifiers (such as
0002:c903:004c:7535) for the initiator.
