• If you are using CHAP authentication, enter the CHAP user name and password. To enable Mutual
CHAP, select and enter the Mutual CHAP user name and password.

To support storage array controller failover, the host server must be connected to at least one iSCSI
port on each RAID controller. Repeat step 3 through step 8 for each iSCSI port on the storage array
that you want to establish as failover targets. The Target Portal address is different for each port you
connected to.
NOTE: To enable the higher throughput of multipathing I/O, the host server must connect to
both iSCSI ports on each RAID controller, ideally from separate host-side NICs. Repeat step 3
through step 7 for each iSCSI port on each RAID controller. If using a duplex configuration, then
LUNs should also be balanced between the RAID controllers.
The
Status
field on the
Targets
tab should now display as
Connected
.
