   ‑controller controller‑id‑or‑fqn
   ‑port hba‑slot‑number/port‑number
   ‑ip ip‑address

DESCRIPTION

The iscsi ‑ping command requests the specified Controller to send an echo request through the TCP/IP network to the storage devices that are using the Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) protocol. The iSCSI devices include the initiators (such as File Servers) and the targets (such as disk arrays and tape subsystems) that are connected to the Controller.

The iscsi ‑ping command returns a message that states that the ping operation was successful or, when an error occurs, a message that describes the problem.

Note: Only administrators with primary administrator, admin1, or support roles are authorized to run the iscsi ‑ping command.

OPTIONS

‑controller

Specifies the fully qualified name (FQN) or the unique identifier (ID) of a Controller. This Controller hosts the iSCSI port that is identified by the ‑port option.

‑ip

Specifies the IP address of the data storage device to ping.

‑port

Identifies a specific port on a Controller HBA. This port must support the iSCSI protocol.

Specify the port using the form HBA slot number/port number. Specify the arguments in the following manner:

HBA slot number: Specifies the PCIE slot number of the HBA on which the port is located. The slot number must be 0 or greater.
port number: Identifies the port number on the HBA slot. The port number must be 0 or greater.

EXAMPLE

Task

Parameters

The FQN of the Controller: /⁠CONTROLLER-03
The HBA slot number/port number: 1/0
The IP address of the data storage device to ping: 10.154.127.217
