WHAT IT DOES

What iscsi_target_delete does on Truenas

RISK

Why iscsi_target_delete is rated Critical

Deleting an iSCSI target is a destructive action that cannot be easily undone. iSCSI targets are block storage volumes accessible over the network; deleting one removes the storage configuration and access path, potentially causing data unavailability or loss for systems relying on that target.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'iscsi_target_delete' and description states 'Delete an iSCSI target'. The verb 'delete' combined with a storage/networking resource (iSCSI target) indicates irreversible removal of configuration.
