SVS200 LUN Manager and Volume Manager (T1714-96015, October 2007)

• Settings for authentication of hosts

•Onthearray:

Use LUN Manager to specify whether authentication of hosts is performed on each iSCSI target.

On an iSCSI target that performs authentication, register user information (iSCSI name, user name,

and secret) of hosts allowed to connect to the iSCSI target. A secret isapasswordusedinCHAP

authentication. When registering user information, you can also enable or disable authentication

on a host basis. For more information about the settings, see Enabling and disabling authentication

of hosts on iSCSI targets and Registering a host's user information on an iSCSI target.

•Onhosts:

Conﬁgure the operating system and iSCSI driver for authentication by iSCSI targets with CHAP.

You must specify the host's user name and secret used for CHAP. For more information, see the

documentation for the operating system and iSCSI driver in your environment.

• Settings for authentication of ports (required if performing mutual authentication)

•Onthearray:

Use LUN Manager to specify each iSCSI target's user information (user name and secret). For

more information about the settings, see Specifying an iSCSI target's user information (when

performing mutual authentication).

•Onhosts:

Conﬁgure the operating system and iSCSI driver for authenticating iSCSI targets with CHAP. You

must specify the user name and secret of the iSCSI target that is the connection target. For more

information, see the documentation for the operating system and iSCSI driver in your environment.

The next section explains authentication of hosts and iSCSI targets.

Authent

ication of hosts (iSCSI environments)

When a host attempts to connect to the array, the connection results of the authentication of the host

differ depending on the iSCSI target settings. Figure 12 illustrates the relationship between iSCSI target

settin

gs and the connection results.
