Changing iSCSI target setting

• Before changing the host mode of an iSCSI target, back up data on the port to which the iSCSI target belongs. Setting host mode should not be destructive, but data integrity cannot be guaranteed without a backup.

• When a secret is changed two times or more for the same iSCSI target successively, perform the next change after waiting for the completion of the task that has been applied. If the secret is changed without waiting for the completion of the task that has been applied, the user name which you expected to be changed can not be incorporated.

This task cannot be performed if host I/O processing is also being performed or if hosts are not reserved (mounted) in the iSCSI target.

To perform this task, the following roles are required:

• Storage Administrator (Provisioning) role
