Cmdlets are usually implemented around resource operations. The four basic operations are CREATE, READ, UPDATE and DELETE. This set of operations is known as CRUD. Most of the cmdlets support CRUD which are respectively cmdlets that start with the New/Get/Set/Remove cmdlet verbs but they also may have additional operations

Step 1: Retrieve a object by running a Get command

You can READ objects by using Get-IScsiHbaTarget cmdlet. See example below: 
# Retrieves the targets of type Send on the specified address.
Get-IScsiHbaTarget -Address "10.23.84.73" -Type Send

Step 2 : Run commands from the CRUD group

You can CREATE objects by using New-IScsiHbaTarget cmdlet. See example below: 
# Creates a new target with IP address 10.23.84.73 on the specified iSCSI HBA device.
$hba = Get-VMHost | Get-VMHostHba -Type iScsi

New-IScsiHbaTarget -IScsiHba $hba -Address 10.23.84.73
You can UPDATE objects by using Set-IScsiHbaTarget cmdlet. See example below: 
# Retrieves the targets of type Static on the specified address and sets their CHAP type to Prohibited.
Get-IScsiHbaTarget -Address "10.23.84.73" -Type Static | Set-IScsiHbaTarget -ChapType Prohibited
You can REMOVE objects by using Remove-IScsiHbaTarget cmdlet. See example below: 
# Retrieves and removes the targets of type Send on the specified address.
Get-IScsiHbaTarget -Address 10.23.84.73 -Type Send | Remove-IScsiHbaTarget
