Setting Up Your iSCSI Storage Array
Description
Sets up accounts that iSCSI initiators use to connect to the target
storage array. The target storage array then authenticates the iSCSI
initiator.
Applied in addition to target CHAP , mutual CHAP sets up an account
that a target storage array uses to connect to an iSCSI initiator. The
iSCSI initiator then authenticates the target.
