This command creates a new iSCSI initiator object.
create iscsiInitiator iscsiName=iSCSI-ID userLabel=”name” host=host-name [chapSecret=securityKey]
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. |
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.
