Because iSCSI and data migration traffic can share the same FC ports, it is prudent to understand
how each function effects the other during I/O operation. The use of bandwidth throttling for data
migration or MPIO for iSCSI provides a mechanism to allocate FC bandwidth to each function.
10-GbE initiators
HP recommends that you map servers with 10-GbE NICs for login to the 10-GbE ports on the MPX200.
CHAP security
You can configure the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) on the MPX200. CHAP
is a security protocol that supports the bidirectional (mutual) authentication option and the one-way
(target) authentication option. The target MPX200 can have a unique password for the one-way CHAP
option. The initiator can have a unique password for the bidirectional CHAP option with the target
MPX200. See the CHAP information in
