HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console Software - Manual (Page 46)

(page 46) shows the relationship between the combinations of host group settings and the connection
results in authentication of hosts. Regardless of whether or not the host is configured for
authentication by ports with CHAP, the connection results are as follows, unless otherwise noted.

If a host is configured for authentication by ports with CHAP, authentication of the host will fail. To allow such a host to
connect to the port without authentication, do not configure it for authentication by ports with CHAP.
Switch Authentication
When a host attempts to connect to the storage system, the connection results of the authentication
of the Fibre Channel switch differ depending on the Fibre Channel switch setting related to each
port.
(page 47) illustrates the relationship between Fibre Channel switch settings and the connection
results in a flow. The setting of Fibre Channel switch authentication is independent from the setting
of host authentication.
