    esxcli <conn_options> iscsi session remove --name=<iqn> --adapter=<iscsi_adapter>
    The following example applies custom values. 
    esxcli <conn_options> iscsi session remove --name=iqn.xxx --adapter=vmhba38
  • Remove sessions from the current software iSCSI or dependent hardware iSCSI configuration with target and session ID. 
    esxcli <conn_options> iscsi session remove --name=<iqn.xxxx> --isid=<session id> --adapter=<iscsi_adapter>
