A name of ALL starts or reloads all targets
specified in the configuration file. ALL is a
reserved string that must be uppercase.
The
target=<name> parameter is optional.
If this command line option is specified without
the -f option, the default configuration file
/etc/chelsio-iscsi/chiscsi.conf
will be
used.
Rules,
1. If the
target=<name> parameter is specified,
only the targets from the list will be started or
reloaded.
2. If
target=ALL is specified, all targets specified
from the iSCSI configuration file will be started or
reloaded.
3. If the
target=<name> parameter is not
specified, all active targets configurations will be
reloaded from the configuration file while those
targets are running. All non-active targets
specified will not be loaded / started.
For Rules 1-3, if the specified targets are
currently active (running), they will get reloaded.
For Rules 1 & 2, if the specified targets are not
currently active, they will be started.
For Rules 2 & 3, please note the differences
–
they are not the same!
The global settings are also reloaded from the
configuration file with this option.
-r target=<name> -k initiator=<name>

target=<name> parameter:
Where name must be a single target name.
If target=<name> parameter is specified as
target=<name>, the sessions can be further
filtered based on the remote node name with
optional
–k initiator=<name> option.
Examples:
iscsictl -r target=iqn.com.cc.it1
iscsictl -r target=iqn.com.cc.it1 -k
initiator=iqn.com.cc.ii1
The first target=<name> parameter is
mandatory. If it is not specified, the command
will be denied.
-D <Session handle
in hex>
Drop initiator session.
This option should be specified with the handle of
the session (in hex) that needs to be dropped. The
session handle can be retrieved using the
previous mentioned iscsictl option (-r used to
retrieve active iSCSI sessions under a target).
-W
