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.
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.
chapSecret The security key that you want to use to authenticate a peer connection.
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.
