Configuring multisession on the Linux operating system

Hosts with Linux operating systems support multisession connections between the host and target.

Discover the target, and then complete the following steps to configure a session between the host and the target:
  1. To create a session between the host and the target, run one of the following commands:
    • iscsiadm –m node –1

      This command establishes a session on all of the portals reported by the iSCSI target at the time of discovery.

    • iscsiadm –m node –T iSCSI target name -l

      This command establishes a single session between the host and the target at the specified target portal.

  2. To remove a session between the host and the target, run one of the following commands:
    • iscsiadm –m session –u

      This command removes sessions on all of the portals reported by the iSCSI target at the time of discovery.

    • iscsiadm –m node –T iSCSI target name -u

      This command removes a single session between the host and the target at the specified target portal.
