You may provide either an IP
address or a Domain Name System (DNS) name as input. The iSCSI initiator queries the specified
server to discover targets. It also registers the iSNS for State Change Notification (SCN) so
that it can detect changes in server functionality, such as a change in availability. Any value you
provide is persisted and the iSCSI initiator queries the server during each restart of the service
or whenever an SCN occurs.
Key Contains the IPSec pre-shared key used to establish the Transaction Control Protocol
(TCP) connection when the iSCSI initiator relies on IPSec to connect with the target.
Length Defines the allocation length to specify for an inquiry. This argument doesn??™t appear
with some forms for the iSCSICli command. It??™s always optional. The default value is 0xFF
(255 bytes). The maximum value is 8 KB (0x2000).
LoginFlags Determines how the client logs into the target portal. See the ???iSCSICli Mappings
and Flags??? section of the chapter for a description of the login flags.
LUN Specifies the Logical Unit Number (LUN) that receives an inquiry.
MappingCount Specifies the number of target mappings that the iSCSI initiator should use to
login to the target.
