Accept wildcard characters? false



-Cluster <Cluster>

Specifies the vSAN cluster on which you want to create the vSAN iSCSI target.



Required? true

Position? named

Default value None

Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? true



-TcpPort <Int32>

Specifies the network port on which the target is accessible. If specified, NetworkInterface should also be

specified. If not specified, and if NetworkInterface is also not specified, the default port specified in

iSCSI target service is used. If NetworkInterface is specified, the default port 3260 is used. The server

automatically opens the firewall for the specified port.



Required? false

Position? named
