ESX Server supports the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) that your iSCSI initiators
can use for authentication purposes. After your initiator establishes the initial connection with the target,
CHAP veri fi es the identity of the initiator and checks a CHAP secret that your initiator and the target
share. This can be repeated periodically during the iSCSI session.
When con
fi guring iSCSI initiators for your ESX Server system, make sure that CHAP is enabled.
Enabling iSCSI software initiators
Enable your iSCSI software initiator, so that ESX Server can use it.
1. Open the iSCSI Initiator Properties dialog box.
2. Click Con fi gure .
The General Properties dialog box opens, displaying the initiator’s status, default name, and
alias.
3. Select the Enabled check box.
4. To change the default iSCSI name for your initiator, enter the new name.
NOTE:
The name must be properly formatted; otherwise, some storage devices might not recognize the
iSCSI hardware initiator. For more information, see “ Naming requirements ” on page 70.
5. Enter the iSCSI alias or change the existing one.
The alias is a friendly name that you use to identify the iSCSI hardware initiator.
6. Click OK to save your changes.
Setting up discovery addresses for software initiators
Target discovery addresses need to be set up so that the software initiator can determine which storage
resource on the network is available for access.
NOTE:
For more information, see “ Discovery methods ” on page 70.
To set up target discovery addresses for the software initiator:
1. Open the iSCSI Initiator Properties dialog box.
2. Click the Dynamic Discovery tab.
