Configure CHAP
Note:
You must have security administrator (*SECADM) special authority
to create, change, or display CHAP information.
To configure CHAP, or to change CHAP credentials, do the following steps:
- With the server shut down (NWSD varied off), use the procedure described
in Change remote system configuration properties to change the properties of the
remote system configuration for the server. Go to the CHAP
Authentication tab.
- To enable CHAP, select the Use the following values
for CHAP authentication option and specify a CHAP name and select the Generate CHAP secret once option.
- To disable CHAP, select the Do not use CHAP option.
- Use the procedure described in Display remote system configuration properties to
display the properties of the remote system configuration for the server.
- On the CHAP Authentication tab, note the CHAP name and CHAP secret.
- On the Boot Parameters tab, note the boot parameter
delivery method.
- This step is required if the boot parameter delivery method is Manually configured on remote system or Dynamically
delivered to remote system via CHAP. Upon the next server start (NWSD
vary on), watch the hosted system's console for a prompt to press CTRL-Q.
Immediately on seeing the prompt, press CTRL-Q.
In the CTRL-Q utility, select the adapter that is configured to boot the hosted
OS. Enter the CHAP name and secret from the remote system configuration properties
into the CHAP name and secret fields of the CTRL-Q target security configuration
panel. Do not enter this information into the CTRL-Q initiator configuration
panel.
Note:
Any non-boot iSCSI HBAs in the hosted system are automatically
configured from the i5/OS™ configuration.
