Does the device show up as a tape device or a block device?

It is the iSCSI target portal group number. It is assigned by the
target. You can use it to group portals together. If the initiator and
target supports MC/s you could then do a iSCSI level multipathing called
MC/s over portals with the same target portal group number. open-iscsi
does not support MC/s
