If You Are Using Rhel 5 Or Sles 10 Sp1 - Dell PowerVault 3000i System Installation Manual

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
