Logging in to iSCSI Sessions

You can use
esxcli iscsi session
 to log in to a session.
Specify one of the options listed in Connection Options for ESXCLI Host Management Commands in place of
<conn_options>
.
  • Log in to a session on the current software iSCSI or dependent hardware iSCSI configuration at the adapter level. 
    esxcli <conn_options> iscsi session add --adapter=<adapter_name>
    The following example applies custom values. 
    esxcli --config /host-config-file iscsi session add --adapter=vmhba36
  • Log in to a session on the current software iSCSI or dependent hardware iSCSI configuration at the target level. 
    esxcli <conn_options> iscsi session add --name=<target> --adapter=<adapter_name>
    The following example applies custom values. 
    esxcli --config /host-config-file iscsi session add -name=iqn.xxx --adapter=vmhba36
  • Add duplicate sessions with target and session IDs in current software iSCSI or dependent hardware iSCSI configuration. 
    esxcli <conn_options> iscsi session add --name=<iqn.xxxx> --isid=<session_id> --adapter=<iscsi_adapter>
    iqn.xxxx
     is the target IQN, which you can determine by listing all sessions.
    session_id
     is the session's iSCSI ID. The following example applies custom values. 
    esxcli --config /host-config-file iscsi session add -name=iqn.xxx --isid='00:02:3d:00:00:01' --adapter=vmhba36
