Setting up Mutual Initiator CHAP on the Storage System

For optional mutual initiator CHAP, you enter the mutual CHAP username and secret that you entered on each target on each initiator as well. If mutual CHAP is enabled, the target sends its username and secret when it responds to the initiator. When the target sends this data, the initiator compares it with an account database and authenticates the target.

STEP 1. On the Windows server that includes your iSCSI initiators, log off and remove iSCSI targets following the instructions given in "Removing iSCSI Targets" on page 138.

STEP 2. On your storage system management station, start Navisphere Express on the storage system you are configuring. See Procedure 29, "Running Navisphere Express," on page 163.

STEP 3. In the Navisphere Express navigation pane, under Manage, click iSCSI.

The Manage iSCSI screen opens.

STEP 4. Click Advanced.

STEP 5. In the iSCSI Security - Advanced screen, click Mutual CHAP Configuration.

STEP 6. In the Mutual CHAP Configuration - Advanced screen, click Add.

The Add Mutual CHAP Credentials - Advanced screen opens.

STEP 7. In Step 1 on the screen, enter a CHAP username for the storage system.

STEP 8. In Step 2 on the screen, enter a CHAP secret that is not the same as any storage-system initiator secret you specified, and confirm the secret.

You can specify the secret in ASCII or hexadecimal characters. ASCII secrets must consist of at least 12 and no more than 16 characters. Hexadecimal secrets must consist of at least 12 and no more than 16 pairs of data (24 to 32 characters). If you specify the CHAP secret using hexadecimal characters, you must select CHAP Secret Specified in Hex.
