An alias is usually created and persists only in an interactive session, so it is lost between sessions. If you dont wan't to define it manually every time you log in, put it into one of the login scripts (e.g. .profile) on the target host to use it as you post above.

iscsictl
ISCSICTL(8) BSD System Manager's Manual ISCSICTL(8)
NAME
iscsictl -- iSCSI initiator management utility
SYNOPSIS
iscsictl -A -p portal -t target [-u user -s secret]
iscsictl -A -d discovery-host [-u user -s secret]
iscsictl -A -a [-c path]
iscsictl -A -n nickname [-c path]
iscsictl -M -i session-id [-p portal] [-t target] [-u user] [-s secret]
iscsictl -M -i session-id [-n nickname [-c path]]
iscsictl -R [-p portal] [-t target]
iscsictl -R -a
iscsictl -R -n nickname [-c path]
iscsictl -L [-v]
DESCRIPTION
The iscsictl utility is used to configure the iSCSI initiator.
The following options are available:
-A Add session.
-M Modify session.
-R Remove session.
-L List sessions.
-a When adding, add all sessions defined in the configuration file. When removing, remove all currently established sessions.
-c Path to the configuration file. The default is /etc/iscsi.conf.
-d Target host name or address used for SendTargets discovery. When used, it will add a temporary discovery session. After discovery is
done, sessions will be added for each discovered target, and the temporary discovery session will be removed.
-i Session ID, as displayed by iscsictl -v.
-n The "nickname" of session defined in the configuration file.
-p Target portal - host name or address - for statically defined targets.
-s CHAP secret.
-t Target name.
-u CHAP login.
-v Verbose mode.
Certain parameters are necessary when adding a session. One can specify these either via command line (using the -t, -p, -u, and -s
options), or configuration file (using the -a or -n options). Some functionality - for example mutual CHAP - is available only via configu-
ration file.
Since connecting to the target is performed in background, non-zero exit status does not mean that the session was successfully established.
Use iscsictl -L to check the connection status.
Note that in order for the iSCSI initiator to be able to connect to a target, the iscsid(8) daemon must be running.
Also note that FreeBSD currently supports two different initiators: the old one, iscsi_initiator(4), with its control utility iscontrol(8),
and the new one, iscsi(4), with iscsictl and iscsid(8). The only thing the two have in common is the configuration file, iscsi.conf(5).
FILES
/etc/iscsi.conf iSCSI initiator configuration file.
EXIT STATUS
The iscsictl utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
Attach to target iqn.2012-06.com.example:target0, served by 192.168.1.1:
iscsictl -A -t iqn.2012-06.com.example:target0 -p 192.168.1.1
Disconnect all iSCSI sessions:
iscsictl -Ra
SEE ALSO
iscsi(4), iscsi.conf(5), iscsid(8)
HISTORY
The iscsictl command appeared in FreeBSD 10.0.
AUTHORS
The iscsictl utility was developed by Edward Tomasz Napierala <trasz@FreeBSD.org> under sponsorship from the FreeBSD Foundation.
