TIP:
You can issue a ping command from an iSCSI port to an iSNS server. To verify connectivity
between an iSNS server and disk array, issue a ping command to the iSNS server. If the iSNS responds
to the ping command, the iSNS server and disk array can communicate with each other.
Setting user authentication (iSCSI environments only)
When configuring an iSCSI environment, you can use the User Authentication tab to set the user
authentication on disk array ports. First specify whether to perform authentication of hosts for each port.
Then register user information of hosts on the ports that perform authentication. This setting determines
whether ports can authenticate hosts that request to connect, and can restrict the connections. In addition,
if you want to implement mutual authentication, specify user information about each disk array port.
NOTE:
The hosts to be connected must also be configured for authentication by ports (and for port
authentication by the host, if required). For details on how to configure the host for CHAP authentication,
refer to your operating system and iSCSI driver documentation.
