28 LUN Manager for the XP128/XP1024
The user information of Host C is not registered on port 1. When Host C tries to connect to the disk array,
authentication fails and the connection request is denied.
Host D is attached to port 2, which does not authenticate hosts, so Host D can connect to the disk array
without authentication. In this case, it does not matter whether the user information of Host D is registered
on port 2. If Host D uses Microsoft iSCSI Initiator, Host D can connect to the disk array only when Host D is
not configured for port authentication using CHAP.
For more information about port settings, see ”
Specifying whether to enable or disable host authentication
on a port ” on page 51 and ” Registering user information of hosts on a port ” on page 51. For host
configuration details, refer to your operating system and iSCSI driver documentation.
Port authentication (performing mutual authentication)
When host authentication is successful, the host performs port authentication if required (mutual
authentication). During port authentication, if the user information specified on the port side matches the
information on the host, the host allows the port to connect.
For more information about port authentication settings, see ”
Specifying user information of ports (when
performing mutual authentication) ” on page 53. For details on how to configure a host, refer to your
operating system and iSCSI driver documentation.
