This section provides instructions for setting up authentication
for discovery sessions for Windows hosts.
You can set up authentication at the same time that you
are connecting to the SAN Volume Controller VDisks
because the CHAP authentication information is located on the same Advanced
Settings panel.
You can set up authentication for a discovery session. To
set up one-way authentication for a Windows host, perform the following
steps:
- After you have the initiator software installed, you can
set up authentication for your Windows host. Go to the Control Panel.
- From the Control Panel, select the iSCSI
Initiator option.
- From the iSCSI Initiator Properties panel,
click the Discovery tab.
- After clicking the Discovery tab,
click Add under the Target Portals section.
You see the Add Target Portal dialog box.
- Click Advanced.... You see the Advanced
Settings panel.
- Select CHAP logon information.
- Type in a value for the User name.
The user name must be the initiator name.
- Type in a value for the Target secret.
The target secret can be a value up to 12 characters. This value is
the same value that you set with the chhost command
on the SAN Volume Controller cluster
for this host.
- Click OK.
