Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete. The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet. For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.
-CimSession
Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.
-Disk
Accepts a MSFT disk object as an input. The MSFT disk object is output from the Get-Disk cmdlet.
-InitiatorPort
Accepts a MSFT initiator port object as an input. The MSFT initiator port object is output from the Get-InitiatorPort cmdlet.
-InitiatorSideIdentifier
Specifies the initiator side identifier.
-IscsiConnection
Accepts a MSFT iSCSI connection object as an input. The MSFT iSCSI connection object is output from the Get-IscsiConnection cmdlet.
-IscsiTarget
Accepts a MSFT iSCSI target object as an input. The MSFT iSCSI target object is output from the Get-IscsiTarget cmdlet.
-IscsiTargetPortal
Accepts a MSFT iSCSI target portal object as an input. The MSFT iSCSI target portal object is output from the Get-IscsiTargetPortal cmdlet.
-NumberOfConnections
Specifies the number of connections.
-SessionIdentifier
Specifies the session identifier.
-TargetSideIdentifier
Specifies the target side identifier.
-ThrottleLimit
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
Prerequisites
Windows with the iSCSI module and the Windows feature or management tools that provide it. Confirm target connectivity and version compatibility using the linked Microsoft reference.
Security considerations
This is a read-oriented cmdlet; protect any sensitive results and check the documented effects of your selected parameters.
