Viewing Or Ending An Iscsi Session - Dell PowerVault MD3200i Owner's Manual

Viewing or Ending an iSCSI Session

You might want to end an iSCSI session for the following reasons:
• Unauthorized access—If an initiator is logged on whom you consider to
not have access, you can end the iSCSI session. Ending the iSCSI session
forces the initiator to log off the storage array. The initiator can log on if
None authentication method is available.
• System downtime—If you need to turn off a storage array and initiators
are logged on, you can end the iSCSI session to log off the initiators from
the storage array.
To view or end an iSCSI session:
1 In the AMW toolbar, select Storage Array iSCSI End Sessions.
2 Select the iSCSI session that you want to view in the Current sessions
area.
The details are shown below in the Details area. You can click Save As to
save the entire iSCSI sessions topology as a text file.
3 To end the session:
Select the session that you want to end, and then click End Session.

NOTE:
If you end a session, any corresponding connections terminate the link
between the host and the storage array, and the data on the storage array is no
longer available.
NOTE:
When a session is manually terminated using the MDSM, the iSCSI initiator
software automatically attempts to re-establish the terminated connection to the
storage array. This may cause an error message.
