Configuring Fibre Channel Authentication
Enabling or Disabling Host Authentication
You can specify whether or not to perform authentication of hosts on each host group. Change the
user authentication settings of the host groups to enable or disable authentication of hosts. By
default, user authentication is disabled.
To enable authentication for hosts in a host group:
1. Make sure that Remote Web Console is in Modify mode.
2. Start LUN Manager and display the Authentication window ( (page 26) ).
3. In the Port tree, double-click the Subsystem folder.
If the storage system contains any Fibre Channel adapters, the Fibre folder appears below
the Subsystem folder.
4. Double-click the Fibre folder and Fibre Channel port icon under the Fibre folder.
When you double-click the Fibre folder, the Fibre Channel ports contained in the storage
system appear as icons. If you double-click the Fibre Channel ports, host groups appear as
icons. On the right of each icon is the host group name. When the enable icon appears,
the host group performs authentication of hosts. When the disable icon appears, the host
group does not perform authentication. By default, the disable icon is displayed for all
host groups.
5. Right-click a host group that is displayed with the disable icon , and select Authentication
:Disable -> Enable from the pop-up menu.
The host group disable icon changes to enable , and the port name is displayed in
blue.
6. Click the Apply button in the Authentication window.
A message appears and asks if you want to apply the setting to the storage system.
7. Click the OK button to close the message.
The setting is applied to the storage system.
To return the host group setting to disable , perform the same operation, but select the
Authentication :Enable -> Disable menu in step 5.
Registering Host User Information
On a host group that performs authentication of hosts, register user information for all hosts that
you allow to connect. This section explains how to register user information for a host in a host
group.
To register user information for a host in a host group:
1. Make sure that Remote Web Console is in Modify mode.
2. Start LUN Manager and display the Authentication window ( (page 26) ).
3. In the Port tree, select a port or host group on which you want to register user information for
a host.
The user information for hosts currently registered on the selected port or host group appears
in the Authentication Information (Host) list.
