Set Up a Static Target in the VMware Host Client

With iSCSI initiators, you can use static discovery to manually enter information for the targets.

When you set up Static Discovery, you can only add new iSCSI targets. You cannot change the IP address, DNS name, iSCSI target name, or port number of an existing target. To make changes, remove the existing target and add a new one.
