iSCSI Security
For an iSCSI interface, the iSCSI authentication function can be used when the initiator accesses the target. The
iSCSI authentication function is available for host connections and remote copying.
The Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is supported for iSCSI authentication. For CHAP
Authentication, unidirectional CHAP or bidirectional CHAP can be selected. When unidirectional CHAP is used,
the target authenticates the initiator to prevent fraudulent access. When bidirectional CHAP is used, the target
authenticates the initiator to prevent fraudulent access and the initiator authenticates the target to prevent
impersonation.
Note that the Internet Storage Name Service (iSNS) is also supported as an iSCSI name resolution.

Quality of Service (QoS)
●
QoS
The performance of a high priority server is guaranteed by configuring the performance limit of each
connected server.
When the load from one application is high in a storage integrated environment and sufficient resources to
process other operations cannot be secured, performance may be reduced.
The QoS function guarantees performance by limiting resources for applications with a low priority so that
resources are secured for high priority applications.
Sixteen priority levels of bandwidth limits (maximum performance limits) can be configured on the hosts,
CA ports, volumes, and LUN groups. The performance configuration patterns of the bandwidth limit can be
individually changed via ETERNUS Web GUI or ETERNUS CLI.
In addition, scheduled operations (when setting a bandwidth limit for hosts, CA ports, and LUN groups) are
possible by setting a duration using ETERNUS CLI.
Linking with ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser significantly reduces the operation workload on the system
administrator when applying the QoS function because performance designing and tuning are automatically
performed.

performance for B cannot be maintained
Because the workload for A is lower than

a high priority, can be reduced
