Open iSCSI initiator (i.e iscsiadm) utility provides a feature to create multiple interfaces:


# iscsiadm -m iface -I <iface name> -o new

You may then take the "-l" off the above command to display info about the iSCSI target:


# iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2010-06.com.purestorage:flasharray.38e69528198fee76 -p 10.124.3.159
# iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2010-06.com.purestorage:flasharray.38e69528198fee76 -p 10.124.3.158

Now update the newly created interface with a unique initiator name:


# iscsiadm -m iface -I <iface name> -o update -n iface.initiatorname -v <initiator name>

Rediscover paths from the new interface:


# iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p 10.124.3.159:3260

Log in to the target IP with this newly created interface:


# iscsiadm -m node -p <FlashArray iSCSI IP CT0> --login

To verify the existing iscsi session:


iscsiadm -m session

You can use -P 0|1|2 for more verbosity on the sessions like initiator to target IP mapping, session timeout etc
