Monitoring Your iSCSI Configuration

You can display information about the iSCSI initiator and target devices by using the iscsiadm list command.

How to Display iSCSI Configuration Information

1. Become an administrator.
2. Display information about the iSCSI initiator.

   For example:

   # iscsiadm list initiator-node
   Initiator node name: iqn.1986-03.com.sun:01:0003ba4d233b.425c293c
   Initiator node alias: zzr1200
           Login Parameters (Default/Configured):
                   Header Digest: NONE/-
                   Data Digest: NONE/-
           Authentication Type: NONE
           RADIUS Server: NONE
           RADIUS access: unknown
           Configured Sessions: 1

3. Display information about which discovery methods are in use.

   For example:

   # iscsiadm list discovery
   Discovery:
       Static: enabled
       Send Targets: enabled
       iSNS: enabled

Example 6-1 Displaying iSCSI Target Information

The following example shows how to display the parameter values for a specific iSCSI target:

# iscsiadm list target-param iqn.1992-08.com.abcstorage:sn.33592219
        Target: iqn.1992-08.com.abcstorage:sn.33592219

The iscsiadm list target-param -v command displays the following information:

• The authentication values for the target

• The default values for the target login parameters

• The configured value for each login parameter

The iscsiadm list target-param -v command displays the default parameter value before the / designator and the configured parameter value after the / designator. If you have not configured a parameter, its value displays as a hyphen (-). For more information, see the following examples.

# iscsiadm list target-param -v eui.50060e8004275511 Target: eui.50060e8004275511
        Alias: -
        Bi-directional Authentication: disabled
        Authentication Type: NONE
        Login Parameters (Default/Configured):
                Data Sequence In Order: yes/-
                Data PDU In Order: yes/-
                Default Time To Retain: 20/-
                Default Time To Wait: 2/-
                Error Recovery Level: 0/-
                First Burst Length: 65536/-
                Immediate Data: yes/-
                Initial Ready To Transfer (R2T): yes/-
                Max Burst Length: 262144/-
                Max Outstanding R2T: 1/-
                Max Receive Data Segment Length: 65536/-
                Max Connections: 1/-
                Header Digest: NONE/-
                Data Digest: NONE/-
        Configured Sessions: 1

The following example output displays the parameters that were negotiated between the target and the initiator:

# iscsiadm list target -v eui.50060e8004275511
Target: eui.50060e8004275511
        TPGT: 1
        ISID: 4000002a0000
        Connections: 1
                CID: 0
                  IP address (Local): 172.90.101.71:32813
                  IP address (Peer): 172.90.101.40:3260
                  Discovery Method: Static
                  Login Parameters (Negotiated):
                        Data Sequence In Order: yes
                        Data PDU In Order: yes
                        Default Time To Retain: 0
                        Default Time To Wait: 3
                        Error Recovery Level: 0
                        First Burst Length: 65536
                        Immediate Data: yes
                        Initial Ready To Transfer (R2T): yes
                        Max Burst Length: 262144
                        Max Outstanding R2T: 1
                        Max Receive Data Segment Length: 65536
                        Max Connections: 1
                        Header Digest: NONE
                        Data Digest: NONE
