Viewing initiators
Select the Initiators tab on the Storage Edge Configuration page to display information about the iSCSI initiators. An initiator is the branch-side client that sends SCSI I/O commands to the iSCSI target on the Edge. The initiators maintain multiple sessions to the iSCSI targets. Each initiator has a unique name.
After changing the IQN on ESXi, the Edge continues to display the old IQN in the list of connected initiators.
The new IQN does not appear even after multiple rescans or restarting the Edge.
ESXi does not disconnect any sessions using the old IQN. Also, it does not create a new session that uses the new IQN.
To change the ESXi IQN, disconnect ESXi from the Edge, and then reconnect ESXi to the Edge.
An initiator appears under Connected Initiators when it connects to the target on an iSCSI portal. When the connection breaks, the initiator appears under configured initiators.
