Set iSCSI Initiator

This command sets the attributes for an iSCSI initiator.

Syntax

set iscsiInitiator iscsiName=new-iSCSI-ID | userLabel=newName | host=newHostName | chapSecret=newSecurityKey

Parameters
Parameter Description
iscsiName The name of the iSCSI initiator for which you want to set attributes.
userLabel The new name that you want to use for the iSCSI initiator.
host The name of the new host to which the HBA host port is connected. Enclose the host name in double quotation marks (“ ”).
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.
