Notes
If you enter this command without defining any arguments, this command returns information about all of the iSCSI sessions that are currently running. The following command returns information about all of the current iSCSI sessions:
show iscsiSessions
To limit the information that is returned, enter a specific iSCSI initiator or a specific iSCSI target. This command then returns information about the session for only the iSCSI initiator or the iSCSI target that you named.
An initiator name can be any combination of alpha or numeric characters from 1 to 30 characters in length. An IQN can be up to 255 characters in length and has this format:
iqn.yyyy-mm.naming-authority:unique name
