Use the Configuring Cluster iSCSI Authentication panel
in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
configure Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) to authenticate
the SAN Volume Controller cluster
to the iSCSI-attached hosts. With CHAP authentication a secret passphrase
is shared between the iSCSI-attached hosts and SAN Volume Controller cluster.
After you configure SAN Volume Controller cluster
to use CHAP authentication, you must update the SAN Volume Controller configuration
of each iSCSI-attached host to specify the CHAP secret it uses to
authenticate with SAN Volume Controller cluster.
