HP StorageWorks XP10000 Disk Array - Manual (Page 53)

Regardless of the setting on the host, the iSCSI target performs authentication of the host, but results
in a failure. The host cannot connect to the array.
• Case D: When connecting via an iSCSI target that does not perform authentication of hosts
The host connects to the array without authentication of the host regardless of whether or not the host
is configured for authentication by iSCSI targets with CHAP.
In this case, although you do not need to register the host's user information on the iSCSI target,
you can register the user information.
CAUTION:
If a host uses Microsoft iSCSI Initiator and is configured for authentication by iSCSI targets with CHAP,
authentication of the host fails. To allow such a host to connect to the port without authentication, do
not configure it for authentication by iSCSI targets with CHAP.
NOTE:
You should register the 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 iSCSI target:
Register the user information of the host you want to allow to connect without authentication, and then
disable the host's authentication setting.
• On the host:
It does not matter if 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.
Figure 13 shows an example of authentication of hosts. In this figure, iSCSI names of host bus adapters
(HBAs) are abbreviated as a, b, and so on.
