112 LUN Manager operations
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) ” on page 48.
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.
If you double-click an iSCSI port, iSCSI target appears as an icon. The iSCSI name appears on the
right of each icon. When appears, the iSCSI target performs authentication of hosts. When
appears, the iSCSI target does not perform authentication of hosts. By default, appears for all
iSCSI targets.
4. Right-click an iSCSI target displayed with , and select Authentication Disable -> Enable. The iSCSI
target’s icon changes to , and the port name appears in blue.
5. Click Apply. A confirmation message appears.
6. Click OK. Settings are applied to the array.
To return the iSCSI target setting to , perform the same operation, except select Authentication Enable
-> Disable in step 4 .
Registering a host’s user information on an iSCSI target
On an iSCSI target that performs authentication of hosts, register the user information for all hosts that you
allow to connect.
1. Start LUN Manager, and display the Authentication pane ( Figure 30 ).
