Create iSCSI Initiator

Description

This command creates a new iSCSI initiator object.

Syntax

create iscsiInitiator iscsiName = "iSCSI-ID" userLabel = "name"

host = "host-name" [chapSecret = securityKey]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
iscsiName	The default identifier of the iSCSI initiator.
userLabel	The name that you want to use for the iSCSI initiator. Enclose the
	name in double quotation marks (" ").
host	The name of the host in which the iSCSI initiator is installed.
chapSecret	The password that you want to use to authenticate a peer
