Configuring iSCSI Target Discovery

102

TSIH – The target session identifier handle. A tag generated by an iSCSI target

to identify an iSCSI session with a specific iSCSI initiator. (Not available when

running the open-iSCSI driver.)

iSCSI Boot – When checked, the target is enabled for boot. However, it does not

necessarily mean that the target is the current boot device. Check this box to

enable boot from this target. Uncheck it to disable boot from this target. You

must uncheck this box to log out from a target. However, even if you uncheck

the box, logout is not possible from the currently booted target.

Note: Not supported when running the open-iSCSI driver.

Session Negotiated Login Options Area

InitialR2T – The initial request to transmit. When set to Yes, the initiator has to

wait for the target to solicit SCSI data before sending it. When set to No, it

allows the initiator to send a burst of unsolicited FirstBurstLength bytes.

Immediate Data – When set to Yes, it allows the initiator to append unsolicited

data to a command.

Max Connections – The maximum number of connections to targets that are

allowed within a single session.

MaxOutstandingR2T – The maximum number of outstanding request to

transmits (R2Ts) per task within a session, each up to MaxBurstLength bytes.

FirstBurstLength – The maximum amount of unsolicited data (in bytes) the

initiator can send to the target during the execution of a single iSCSI command.

MaxBurstLength – The maximum amount of either unsolicited or solicited data

the initiator may send in a single burst. Any amount of data exceeding this

value must be explicitly solicited by the target.

DefaultTimeToWait – The minimum time to wait, in seconds, before the

initiator attempts to reconnect or reassign a connection (or task) that has been

dropped after an unexpected connection termination or reset. The initiator and

target negotiate to determine this value.

DefaultTimeToRetain – The maximum time, in seconds, to reassign a

connection after the initial wait that is indicated in DefaultTimeToWait has

elapsed. The initiator and target negotiate to determine this value.

ErrorRecoveryLevel – The operational ErrorRecoveryLevel for the session. 0

indicates recovery only by session restart. 1 indicates recovery by reissuing

commands, data, or status. 2 indicates connection failure recovery.

DataPDUInOrder – The order of data protocol data units (PDUs) within a

sequence.

DataSequenceInOrder – The order between sequences.

Session Statistics Area

Session Direction – The direction of iSCSI session. Valid values are

InboundSession and OutboundSession.

Cmd PDUs – The count of Command PDUs transferred on this session.

Response PDUs – The count of Response PDUs transferred on this session.
