Notes
An HBA or HCA host port is a physical connection on a host adapter that resides within a host computer.
An HBA or HCA host port provides access to the logical drives in a storage subsystem. If the host bus
adapter has only one physical connection (one host port), the terms host port and host bus adapter are
synonymous.
You can use any combination of alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores for the names. Host
names can have a maximum of 30 characters.

Create iSCSI Initiator
This command creates a new iSCSI initiator object.
Syntax
create iscsiInitiator iscsiName= iSCSI-ID
userLabel=” name ”
host= host-name
[chapSecret= securityKey ]
Parameters
Parameters Description
iscsiName
The default identifier of the iSCSI initiator. Enclose the name in
double quotation marks (“ ”).
userLabel
The name that you want to use for the iSCSI initiator. Enclose
the name in double quotation marks (“ ”).
host
The name of the host in which the iSCSI initiator is installed.
Enclose the name in double quotation marks (“ ”).
chapSecret The security key that you want to use to authenticate a peer
connection. Enclose the name in double quotation marks (“ ”).
Notes
Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is a protocol that authenticates the peer of a
connection. CHAP is based upon the peers sharing a “secret.” A secret is a security key that is similar to
a password.
Use the chapSecret parameter to set up the security keys for initiators that require a mutual
authentication.
