iscsi initiator issue on vSphere client

[Atomliu]

When I enter the Address of the iscsi server in "dynamic discovery" ,it will list all available targets in "static discovery "menu.When I close the initiator,it will connect to all targets.It has no effects though I remove the targets which I don not want to use from "static discovery".How can I log in the specified target without hitting the target name in static discovery?I am confused .

I had posted a discussion yesterday but I was misunderstood as a advertiser .Though I worked for KernSafe ,I am just working for technology not sellers.I just want to restore the scene.

Hi,

In fact it is not an issue. Here a previous post about this subject : http://communities.vmware.com/thread/284372?start=0&tstart=0

Dynamic Discovery Also known as Send Targets discovery. Each time the initiator contacts a

specified iSCSI server, the initiator sends the Send Targets request to the server.

The server responds by supplying a list of available targets to the initiator. The

names and IP addresses of these targets appear on the Static Discovery tab. If

you remove a static target added by dynamic discovery, the target might be

returned to the list the next time a rescan happens, the HBA is reset, or the host

is rebooted.

Static Discovery The initiator does not have to perform any discovery. The initiator has a list of

targets it can contact and uses their IP addresses and target names to

communicate with them

And here more information about iscsi discovery : http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vcli.examples.doc%2Fcli_manage_iscsi...
