The iSCSI Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Initiator classes provide various components of the iSCSI Discovery Library API that facilitate discovery and connection to Targets within a Session.
This section details the following iSCSI Discovery Library WMI Initiator classes.
| MSiSCSIInitiator Class | Description |
|---|---|
| ConnectionInformation | Describes the characteristics of an iSCSI connection. |
| DeviceOnSession | Describes the characteristics of a device currently associated with a session. |
| IKEPresharedKeyAuthenticationInfo | Describes the characteristics of shared keys utilized by the Initiator and the Target. |
| InitiatorClass | Contains the name of the Initiator. |
| IsnsServerClass | Retrieves and contains information about the iSNS server, which is used to discover targets on a network. |
| LUNList | Defines a mapping between the LUN number that is used by the operating system and the LUN number that is configured in the iSCSI target. |
| MethodClass | Contains all miscellaneous operation methods associated with the iSCSI Initiator. |
| PersistentDevices | Contains path information associated with a persistent device. |
| PersistentLoginClass | Defines a persistent logon that the operating system initiates automatically when the computer boots up. |
| Portal | Describes the characteristics of an iSCSI initiator portal. |
| PortalGroup | Describes the characteristics of the initiator portal group. |
| SendTargetPortalClass | Describes the characteristics of a discovered target portal. |
| SessionClass | Describes the characteristics of a session and provides methods that allow the creation and management of connections within the session established by the Initiator. |
| TargetAddress | Describes the characteristics of the SCSI address mapped to a target by the operation system. |
| TargetClass | Provides information about connected iSCSI targets as well the ability to login to a specified target. |
