Hi,

I wonder what is the way to find out Iscsi Target's LUN? In a command like Iscsicli there are options to include this parameter, but... how to get it? GUI or cmd/powershell?

Anyone?

Example: Iscsicli AddTarget <Target Lun> .

    Hey,

    In addition to mentioned above, you can use powershell to work with the iSCSI targets. The following guide should help: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/blog/dont-break-your-fingers-with-hundreds-of-clicks-automate-windows-iscsi-connections

    @Xiaowei He @Alex Aguilar Bykovskyi Thanks. What i mean is what do I use as "lun" in the following command? Is this name of the disk/virtual disk/ c: maybe something else?

    Add-IscsiVirtualDiskTargetMapping
    [-TargetName] <String>
    [-Path] <String>
    [-Lun <Int32>]

    or Iscsicli AddTarget <Target Lun>

    This is not clear to me.

    @Xiaowei He @Alex Aguilar Bykovskyi or for the sake of simplicity can you do it from server manager/iscsi target/iscsi initator? How to find it? What exactly is "LUN" ? Am I seeking the disk nr/ mount point/virtual disk name/iqn - any other?
