rmiscsi Command
Purpose
Removes iSCSI target data.
Syntax
rmiscsi -l AdapterName [ -g group ] [ -t TargetName ] [ -n PortNumber ] [ -i IPaddress ]
Description
The rmiscsi command removes iSCSI target data to ODM. There are two categories of data stored in ODM. The first is for statically configured iSCSI targets, which require that all the relevant iSCSI target information (such as target name, IP address, and port number) are specified in order for AIX® to discover them. The second category of iSCSI target data is for iSCSI target devices that can be configured automatically, but require authentication from the host (such as passwords). These two categories of iSCSI target data are associated with the static and auto groups, respectively, specified by the -g flag.
Flags
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| -g group | Specifies which group this iSCSI target is associated with. There two valid groups are static and auto. The static group is for iSCSI targets that cannot be automatically discovered from this host; all relevant iSCSI target information for them (such as target name, IP address, and port number) must be specified. The auto group is for iSCSI targets that are automatically discovered, but require authentication information such as passwords. |
| -i IPaddress | Specifies the IP address of the iSCSI target. |
| -l AdapterName | Specifies the adapter name for the iSCSI TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) adapter that is attached to this iSCSI target. It can also specify the iSCSI protocol device for the iSCSI software solution device. |
| -n PortNumber | Specifies the port number on which the iSCSI
target is accessed. The default port number is 3260. |
| -t TargetName | Specifies the iSCSI target name (for example, iqn.sn9216.iscsi-hw1). |
Exit Status
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | The command completed successfully. |
