7.7.2. iSCSI initiator (Linux, Windows)
All supported iSCSI initiators can be managed from this page. The supported initiators on
Windows are Microsoft and Chelsio iSCSI initiator (T5/T4 adapters). On Linux, Open iSCSI
initiator is supported. The modules available on this page are:
Initiator nodes
This module lists the initiator nodes / virtual adapters configured in the initiator stack. The node
can be enabled or disabled (Chelsio node cannot be disabled in Windows), and its properties
can be viewed and edited in this module. In the Chelsio Linux stack, new initiator nodes can be
created too. Disabling the initiator causes it to log out of any iSCSI targets that it is connected
to, thus removing any disks provided by the iSCSI targets that were connected. Use the Disable
option with caution. The CHAP authentication secret should be between 12 and 16 characters in
length, and the initiator's IQN name should start with "iqn.".
