52 Overview of LUN Manager

For more information about configuring hosts, see the documentation for the operating system and iSCSI

driver in your environment.

Authentication of iSCSI targets (performing mutual authentication)

When authentication of a host succeeds, the host performs authentication of the iSCSI target in reverse if

the host requires (mutual authentication). In authentication of iSCSI targets, when the user information

(user name and secret) of the iSCSI target specified on the iSCSI target side matches the user information

stored on the host, the host allows the iSCSI target to connect.

For more information about iSCSI target settings to perform authentication of iSCSI targets, see

”Specifying an iSCSI target’s user information (when performing mutual authentication)” on page 115.

For more information about configuring hosts, see the documentation for the operating system and iSCSI

driver in your environment.

NAS channel adapters

You can use LUN Manager to check the running status of the OSs on NAS channel adapters. Also, when

a failure occurs in the OS, you can operate (restart, stop, or start) the OS using LUN Manager without

going to the array’s cabinet. For instructions on checking the OS status on NAS channel adapters and

operating the OSs, see ”Operating NAS channel adapters” on page 117.
