3.1.5.5 IVdsServiceIscsi Interface

  • Article

The IVdsServiceIscsi interface provides methods to interact with the iSCSI initiators service on the server. It includes the ability to set CHAP security settings and to log in to targets.<57>

The UUID for this interface is {14FBE036-3ED7-4E10-90E9-A5FF991AFF01}.

The IVdsServiceIscsi methods are specified in section 3.4.5.2.8. No methods with opnums 5, 6, 7, and 9 are listed because the Virtual Disk Service Remote Protocol does not use them.
