Adding Target Portals
To add a target portal:
1. From the iSCSI Target Discovery tab, click Add Portal. The Add Target Portal dialog box
appears.
2. Enter the server IP address and TCP port number and click OK. After successfully adding a
target portal, that target portal's targets are discovered and appear in the target list.
3. Specify the Portal Login Options and Authentication type you want to use.
4. Click OK.
Removing a Target Portal
To remove a target portal:
1. From the iSCSI Target Discovery tab, select the target portal you want to remove in the Target
Portals table.
2. Click Remove Portal.
Logging into Targets
Only connected targets, that is targets that are successfully logged into, are displayed in the discovery-
tree. However, the Targets table in the iSCSI Target Discovery tab is composed of all discovered targets
regardless of their connection status. The connection status of each target is displayed in the 'Status'
column of the Targets table. Disconnected targets are targets that have not yet been logged into by the
initiator.
Note: The targets discovered on the target portal are not removed from the Targets list by
the operation. They must be specifically removed by selecting them and clicking the
Removet target button. However (except on ESX hosts), targets that are not logged
in when the system is rebooted are removed.
Note: The target's login options are set at the time they are discovered from the target
portal and match the target portal's login options. Changing the login options in the
Initiator Login Options tab does not change the discovered targets login options.
