Modify Host, iSCSI Access Tab

Navigation: SAN > Storage > Hosts > Actions > Modify Host > iSCSI Access

Modifies the iSCSI access settings for iSCSI connections from a Storage Area Network (SAN) host.

If you configure iSCSI on a host port and want that port to be able to connect to the Oracle FS System, you must also configure iSCSI for that port on the Oracle FS System.

Note: iSCSI settings are only available if the host is configured to use iSCSI.

iSCSI Host Specific Settings

Enable Authentication
Indicates whether the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) protocol for iSCSI sessions between the SAN host and the Oracle FS System is enabled.
Note: Depending on the global settings, the CHAP name property and the CHAP secret property might not be required. Those properties are not required, for example, when authentication is performed through a RADIUS server.
Chap Name

Identifies the name of the iSCSI initiator that is to be used during authentication.

CHAP Secret
Identifies the encrypted CHAP authentication password (secret) to be used in the exchange of user names and secrets between two devices. Both devices must support Point‑to‑Point (PPP) authentication.
Note: The Oracle FS System supports up to 100 UTF‑8 non‑integer characters. However, when connecting to Windows servers, you must limit the secret to a value from 12 to 16 characters in length.
Retype CHAP Secret

Confirms the encrypted CHAP authentication password.

Grant Access to Oracle FS

Specifies whether the Oracle FS System must reject iSCSI login attempts from initiators that have not explicitly been granted permission by the user through the Oracle FS System Manager interface or through the Oracle FS System Command Line Interface (CLI).
