#This script works on increasing the number of iSCSi sessions for Windows hosts connected to Cloud Block Store and running on Azure VM or AWS EC2 instances.
#Run this script on the designated host and assign from 2 to 32 iSCSI sessions.
#Follow the CBS deployment guide to get the required entries. https://support.purestorage.com/Pure_Cloud_Block_Store/Cloud_Block_Store_Deployment_and_Configuration_Guide_for_Azure
