Examples

Example 1: Add an iSCSI target portal 

PS C:\> New-IscsiTargetPortal -TargetPortalAddress "testIscsi"
InitiatorInstanceName      : 
InitiatorNodeAddress       : 
InitiatorPortalAddress     : 
InititorIPAdressListNumber : 4294967295 
IsDataDigest               : False 
IsHeaderDigest             : False 
TargetPortalAddress        : testIscsi 
TargetPortalPortNumber     : 3260

This command adds a new iSCSI target portal named testIscsi to perform discovery.

Required Parameters

-TargetPortalAddress

Specifies the IP address or DNS name of the target portal.

Type: String
Aliases: TA
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

Optional Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.

For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs .

Type: SwitchParameter
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-AuthenticationType

Specifies the type of authentication to use when logging into the target. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

  • None
  • OneWayCHAP
  • MutualCHAP
Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-ChapSecret

Specifies the CHAP secret to use when establishing a connection authenticated by using CHAP.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-ChapUsername

Specifies the user name to use when establishing a connection authenticated by using Mutual CHAP.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Type: CimSession[]
Aliases: Session
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-InitiatorInstanceName

Specifies the name of the initiator instance that the iSCSI initiator service uses to send SendTargets requests to the target portal. If no instance name is specified, the iSCSI initiator service chooses the initiator instance.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-InitiatorPortalAddress

Specifies the IP address or DNS name that is associated with the portal.

Type: String
Aliases: IA
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-IsDataDigest

Indicates whether this cmdlet enables data digest when the initiator logs into the target portal. If you do not specify this parameter, the digest setting is determined by the initiator kernel mode driver.

Type: Boolean
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-IsHeaderDigest

Indicates whether this cmdlet enables header digest when the initiator logs into the target portal. If you do not specify this parameter, the digest setting is determined by the initiator kernel mode driver.

Type: Boolean
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-TargetPortalPortNumber

Specifies the TCP/IP port number for the target portal. By default, the port number is 3260.

Type: UInt16
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Type: Int32
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

Inputs

None

Outputs

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.Ciminstance#MSFT_IscsiTargetPortal
