3.2 iSCSI configuration

You may fine-tune the iPBridge using the ATTO ExpressNAV interface.

Several special iPBridge features may be accessed using the ExpressNAV graphical user interface. For details on each command, refer to CLI provides an ASCII-based interface on page iii of the Appendix

1If you are not already in the ExpressNAV interface, type the IP address of your iPBridge in a standard browser as found in Using ExpressNAV on page 23, click Enter Here, type in your user name and password, and click

2The Status page appears. Click on the menu item which regulates the parameter you wish to change.

•Ethernet: iSCSI port number

•iSCSI iSCSI Alias, ISNS Login Control, iSNSServer, Speedwrite

•CHAP commands: iSCSI Chap Secret, iSCSI Target in the Manual Target Mgt menu

3Click Submit on each page after you make changes to save your choices. When you have completed all changes, go to the Restart page and click on Restart.

Ethernet

Click on the Ethernet menu item.

iSCSI Port Number

Specifies the port number whereby the iPBridge listens for iSCSI connections. The port number must be between 1024 and 65535 except for port 860. The default is 3260.

iSCSI

Click on the iSCSI menu item.

iSCSI Alias

Provides a human-readable name assigned to the iPBridge. Aliases may be 1 to 64 characters long and may contain spaces if spaces are enclosed in quotation marks. The default is a blank space.

iSNS Login Control

Specifies whether the iPBridge will delegate its access control/authorization to an iSNS server. Default is disabled.

Note

iSNS Login Control cannot be used with Access Control found on the iSCSI Target Management page.

iSNSServer

Specifies whether the IP address of a valid iSNS server from which the iPBridge will attempt iSCSI initiator discovery. Setting to 0.0.0.0 disables the iSNS server lookup. Default is 0.0.0.0.

SpeedWrite

When enabled, improves the performance of WRITE commands to SCSI devices attached to the iPBridge.

CHAP commands

To find the CHAP commands,

1Click on the Manual Target Mgt menu item

2Click on the Target Management page

3Click on the iSCSI CHAP table entry next to the iSCSI target you wish to use.

iSCSI CHAP

iSCSI CHAP controls whether CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) is used for the iSCSI protocol. If CHAP is enabled, the target requires the initiator to negotiate CHAP authentication using CHAP secrets (passwords). An initiator may reject this negotiation.

iSCSI Chap Secret

Specifies the incoming and outgoing secrets (passwords) for iSCSI CHAP sessions. Secrets are case sensitive, 12 to 32 characters (16 for Microsoft iSCSI initiator), and cannot contain spaces. In and out secrets must be different.

An in secret is for authentication of the server to the iPBridge. The iPBridge can store up to 32 in secrets. An out secret is for authentication of the iPBridge to the server. There is only one out secret per target that cannot be deleted.

iSCSI Target

Creates or deletes an iSCSI target name. The target name acts as a suffix to the standard bridge iSCSI- qualified name. The target name may not exceed 24 characters.
