Logout from the Software Controller.

The "Software Adapter Target Logout" feature in QuantaStor serves the purpose of terminating or closing the connection between a software adapter and a target device in the storage environment. A software adapter, such as iSCSI or Fibre Channel, allows the QuantaStor system to communicate with storage targets, such as storage arrays or virtualization platforms.

WARNING, once disconnected all IO operations to the selected targets will be stopped.

Here are the key purposes and functionalities of the "Software Adapter Target Logout" feature in QuantaStor:

  • Connection termination: The feature enables administrators to explicitly terminate the connection between a software adapter and a target device. This can be useful when there is a need to disconnect or release resources associated with a specific target device.
  • Resource release: By performing a target logout, the software adapter releases any allocated resources, such as connections, sessions, or logical units, associated with the target device. This helps optimize resource utilization within the storage system.
  • Maintenance and troubleshooting: The target logout feature can be used during maintenance activities or troubleshooting scenarios. For example, when performing maintenance on a storage array or making configuration changes, administrators may want to temporarily disconnect the software adapter from the target device to avoid any potential disruption.
  • Target reconfiguration: In situations where a target device needs to be reconfigured or its settings need to be modified, performing a target logout allows administrators to release the existing connection and establish a new connection with the updated configurations.
  • Connection management: The target logout feature provides administrators with control over the connection between the software adapter and the target device. It allows for fine-grained management of connections, enabling administrators to establish, terminate, and reconfigure connections as required.
