Setting Up Your iSCSI Storage Array

If you are using RHEL 5 or SLES 10 SP1

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

following lines as shown:

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 username 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

>

4 To set up discovery session CHAP authentication, first uncomment the following line:

discovery.sendtargets.auth.authmethod = CHAP

5 Set a username and password for a discovery session CHAP authentication of the initiator by the

target(s) by editing the following lines:

discovery.sendtargets.auth.username = <

iscsi_initiator_username

>

discovery.sendtargets.auth.password = <

CHAP_initiator_password

>

6 To set the username and password for discovery session CHAP authentication of the target(s) by the

initiator for Mutual CHAP, edit the following lines:

discovery.sendtargets.auth.username = <

iscsi_target_username

>

discovery.sendtargets.auth.password_in = <

CHAP_target_password

>

7 As a result of steps 1 through 6, the final configuration contained in the /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file might

look like this:

node.session.auth.authmethod = CHAP

node.session.auth.username = iqn.2005-03.com.redhat01.78b1b8cad821

node.session.auth.password = password_1

node.session.auth.username_in= iqn.1984-

05.com.dell:powervault.123456

node.session.auth.password_in = test1234567890

discovery.sendtargets.auth.authmethod = CHAP

discovery.sendtargets.auth.username = iqn.2005-

03.com.redhat01.78b1b8cad821
