HP StorageWorks XP10000 Disk Array - Manual (Page 124)

6. Click OK. Settings are applied to the array.
To return the Fibre Channel setting, perform the same operation, except select Authentication
bi-directional->unidirectional in step 4.
Specifying whether a Fibre Channel switch can perform authentication
To enable Fibre Channel switches to authenticate hosts, you must enable the Fibre Channel switch's user
authentication settings. By default, Fibre Channel switch authentication is disabled.
To enable a Fibre Channel switch to authenticate hosts:
1. Start LUN Manager, and display the Authentication pane ( Figure 30 ).
2. In the Port tree, double-click the Subsystem folder. If the array contains Fibre Channel adapters, the
Fibre folder appears below the Subsystem folder.
3. In the Port tree, double-click the Fibre folder. Information about the Fibre Channel switch appears in
the FC Switch Information list.
4. Right-click any point in the FC Switch Information list, and select Authentication Disable->Enable.
5. Click Apply. A confirmation message appears.
6. Click OK. Settings are applied to the array.
To return the Fibre Channel switch setting so the switch cannot authenticate hosts, perform the same
operation, except select Authentication Enable->Disable in step 4.
Setting user authentication (iSCSI environments)
When configuring iSCSI environments, use the Authentication pane ( Figure 30 ) to set user authentication
on iSCSI targets of the array. First, specify whether or not each iSCSI target performs authentication of
hosts, and then register the hosts' user information on the iSCSI targets that perform authentication.
According to this setting, iSCSI targets can authenticate hosts that request a connection and restrict the
connections. In addition, to implement mutual authentication, specify the iSCSI targets' user information
on each iSCSI target of the array.
This section describes the iSCSI target setting operations for user authentication.
For an overview of user authentication, see
User authentication (iSCSI environments) .
NOTE:
The hosts to be connected must also be configured for authentication by iSCSI targets (and for
authentication of iSCSI targets by the host, if required). For more information about configuring the host
for CHAP authentication, see the documentation for the operating system and iSCSI driver in your
environment.
Enabling and disabling authentication of hosts on iSCSI targets
You can specify whether to perform authentication of hosts on each iSCSI target. Switch the user
authentication settings of iSCSI targets to enable or disable authentication of hosts. By default, user
authentication is disabled.
To enable authentication of hosts on an iSCSI target:
1. Start LUN Manager, and display the Authentication pane ( Figure 30 ).
2. In the Port tree, double-click the Subsystem folder. If the array contains iSCSI channel adapters, the
iSCSI folder appears below the Subsystem folder.
3. Under the iSCSI folder, double-click the iSCSI folder or iSCSI port icon.
If you double-click the iSCSI folder, iSCSI ports in the array appear as icons.
