## 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.

# VsanVitEditIscsiTarget(editIscsiTarget)

Edits iSCSI target in this cluster.
All properties in VsanIscsiTargetSpec can be changed.

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.
