NOTE:

You should register user information for all hosts to be connected to an iSCSI target that

performs authentication of hosts. To allow a specific host to connect to such an iSCSI target without

authentication, configure the iSCSI target and the host as follows:
• On the host:

It does not matter whether or not you configure the host for authentication by ports with CHAP.
However, if the host uses Microsoft iSCSI Initiator, do not configure the host for authentication

by ports with CHAP.

Specify the following user information for the host you want to allow to connect:
• Target Name: Host bus adapter’s iSCSI name. Select one from the list or enter the name directly. In

the list, all iSCSI names of host bus adapters connected to the selected port by the cable appear.

For more information about the characters and length you can specify as an iSCSI name, see

iSCSI port and iSNS server settings

” on page 42.

• User Name: Host’s user name of the host up to 128 characters.

You can use alphanumeric characters, spaces, and the following symbols in a user name:

. - + @ _ = : / [ ] , ~

User names are case-sensitive. For example, host1 and Host1 represent different users.
