You can use esxcli iscsi information retrieval commands to list external HBA properties, information about targets, and LUNs.

You can use the following esxcli iscsi options to list iSCSI parameters. Specify one of the options listed in Connection Options for ESXCLI Host Management Commands in place of <conn_options>.
