Configuration: Using iSCSI
Viewing or Ending an iSCSI Session
You may want to end an iSCSI session for the following reasons:
• Unauthorized access—If an initiator whom you consider to not have
access is logged on, you can end the iSCSI session. Ending the iSCSI
session forces the initiator to log off the storage array. The initiator can log
on if
None authentication method is available.
• System downtime—If you need to turn off a storage array and initiators are
logged on, you can end the iSCSI session to log off the initiators from the
storage array.
To view or end an iSCSI session:
1 In the AMW toolbar, select Storage Array iSCSI End Sessions.
2 Select the iSCSI session that you want to view in the Current sessions
area.
The details are shown below in the
Details area. Click Save As to save the
entire iSCSI sessions topology as a text file.
3 To end the session:
a
Select the session that you want to end, and then click End Session.
The
End Session confirmation window is displayed.
b
Type yes to confirm that you want to end the iSCSI session.
c
Click OK.
NOTE:
If you end a session, any corresponding connections terminate the link
between the host and the storage array, and the data on the storage array is no
longer available.
NOTE:
When a session is manually terminated using the MDSM, the iSCSI initiator
software automatically attempts to re-establish the terminated connection to the
storage array. This may cause an error message.
