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.
