Appendix—Manual Configuration of iSCSI

5 Remove the target portal that you configured on the storage array during

target discovery:

iscsicli RemoveTargetPortal <IP_address>

<TCP_listening_port>

6 Add the target portal with CHAP defined:

iscsicli QAddTargetPortal

<IP_address_of_iSCSI_port_on_storage_array>

[CHAP_username]

[CHAP_password]

where, [CHAP_username] is the initiator name and [CHAP_password] is

the target CHAP secret.
If you require a discovery session failover, repeat step 5 for all iSCSI ports

on the storage array. Otherwise, single-host port configuration is sufficient.

If you are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6,

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11:

1 To enable CHAP (optional), the following line needs to be enabled in your

/etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file:

node.session.auth.authmethod = CHAP

2 To set a user name and password for CHAP authentication of the initiator

by the target(s), edit the following lines:

node.session.auth.username =

<iscsi_initiator_username>

node.session.auth.password =

<CHAP_initiator_password>

3 If you are using Mutual CHAP authentication, you can set the user name

and password for CHAP authentication of the target(s) by the initiator by

editing the following lines:

node.session.auth.username_in=

<iscsi_target_username>

node.session.auth.password_in =

<CHAP_target_password>
