Figure 9 Authentication of hosts (Fibre Channel environments)

Case A to Case D in Figure 9 is explained as follows:

• Case A through Case C: When performing authentication of host groups

• Case A: If the host's user information is registered on the host group, and authentication of

the host is enabled

The host group authenticates the user information sent from the host. If authentication of the host

succeeds, either of the following actions occur:

• When the host is conﬁgured for mutual authentication, processing goes to authentication

of the host group.

• When the host is not conﬁgured for mutual authentication, the host connects to the array.

Ifthehostisnotconﬁgured for authentication by host groups with CHAP, the authentication

fails and the host cannot connect to the array.

• Case B: If the host's user information is registered on the host group, but authentication of

the host is disabled

The host group does not perform authentication of the host. The host connects to the array

without authentication regardless of whether or not the host is conﬁgured for authentication by

host groups with CHAP.

• Case C: If the host's user information is not registered on the host group

Regardless of the setting on the host, the host group performs authentication of the host, but results

infailure. Thehostcannotconnecttothearray.

• Case D: When connecting via a host group that does not perform authentication of hosts
