Figure 13. Port Name Binding
2 Using the vSphere CLI, connect the software iSCSI initiator to the iSCSI
VMkernel ports. Repeat this command for each port.
esxcli swiscsi nic add -n <port_name> -d <vmhba>
3 Verify that the ports were added to the software iSCSI initiator by running
the following command:
esxcli swiscsi nic list -d <vmhba>
4 Use the vSphere Client to rescan the software iSCSI initiator.
5 To disconnect the software iSCSI initiator from the ports, run the
following command:
esxcli swiscsi nic remove -n <port_name> -d
<vmhba>
If there are active iSCSI sessions between your host and targets,
discontinue them before running this command. You can do so by
removing static targets that the ports use from the vSphere Client.
esxcli swiscsi nic remove -n <port_name> -d
<vmhba>
