## Managed Object Description

The VsanIscsiTargetSystem exposes interfaces from vCenter to perform vSAN iSCSI target service related operations. To access these APIs from vCenter, user should possess correct privileges of the target cluster: cluster edit privilege is required for the adding, editing and removal of target, LUN, initiator and initiator group, while system read/view privilege is required for the view of these entities. The Managed Entity can be accessed through MOID of vsan-cluster-iscsi-target-system, through vSAN service at both vCenter server and ESXi host side.

# VsanVitAddIscsiInitiatorGroup(addIscsiInitiatorGroup)

Adds iSCSI initiator group to one cluster.
If the initiator group already exists, a VsanFault will be raised. Some unhealthy status of the vSAN iSCSI service can also lead to this VsanFault exception, e.g., the unavailability of the home object.

# VsanVitEditIscsiLUN(editIscsiLUN)

Edits iSCSI LUN in specified target.
All properties in `VsanIscsiLUNSpec` can be changed. If new LUN id is provided, it should be in range [0, 255] and be unique in the specified target, if lunSize is provided, it should be greater than existing size, i.e., LUNs are only allowed to grow, if either of them are not met, a VsanFault exception will be raised. If storagePolicy is provided, it is set by calling `SetVsanObjectPolicy` in `VsanObjectSystem`.

# VsanVitEditIscsiTarget(editIscsiTarget)

Edits iSCSI target in this cluster.
All properties in VsanIscsiTargetSpec can be changed. If authType changed, all existing connections are not effected, but the new connection to this target need to use the new authentication type, if port or network interface changed, it has the same impact to connection as authType change. If IQN or alias provided, it should be unique.
If IQN or alias is not unique, a VsanFault will be raised. Some unhealthy status of the vSAN iSCSI service can also lead to this VsanFault exception, e.g., the unavailability of the home object.

# VsanVitRemoveIscsiInitiatorGroup(removeIscsiInitiatorGroup)

Removes iSCSI initiator group from one cluster.
If there are initiators in the group, the initiators will be removed at the same time. If the initiator group doesn't exist, a VsanFault will be raised. Some unhealthy status of the vSAN iSCSI service can also lead to this VsanFault exception, e.g., the unavailability of the home object.
