Add Remote Compellent CHAP Connection with Bi-Directional Authentication

To add a remote Compellent CHAP connection with bi-directional authentication:

1 Repeat Steps 1 through 6, above.

2 Enable Bi-Directional Authentication.

3 Continue with Steps 7 through 10, above.

Add Remote Compellent Initiator from System 1 to System 2

Complete the circle by adding a remote Compellent initiator to System 1 (legacy mode):

1 If you have not already done so, log into System 1.

2 Select an SCSI folder.

In a dual-controller system, it does not matter which of the

two disk folders you select; connecting the remote system to the cards in one controller
connects the remote system to all cards on both controllers.

3 From the shortcut menu, select Add Remote Compellent CHAP Initiators. The Add

iSCSI Remote CHAP Initiators window appears.

4 Enter the CHAP Name of the remote IO card (for legacy mode) or Control Port (for

Virtual Port mode).

5 Enter the Remote Target Secret.

6 Add the Remote Port Secret.

Note

In our example, System 1 is in legacy (non-Virtual Port mode). We connected three
cards from System 1 to System 2. One of the three cards uses Bi-Directional
Authentication. In adding a Remote CHAP Initiator from System 1 to System 2, we
had to add the Remote Port Secret, even though only one of the cards will use Bi-
Directional Authentication.

7 Click Add Now.

Disabling CHAP

Note

If you disable CHAP, you must re-do all Remote Compellent Connections.

1 Select a Control Port or iSCSI card. From the shortcut menu, select Properties.

2 Click the CHAP tab.

3 Uncheck CHAP Authentication.

4 Click OK.
