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 XP LUN Configuration and Security Manager Software, 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.
