CHAP Accounts for Block Virtual Disks

You can set up CHAP (Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol) accounts for block virtual disks.

Here is the recommended workflow:

• For the block virtual disk (using the Hedvig WebUI):

  • Create a block virtual disk with the required parameters.

  • Add this block virtual disk as a LUN to the iSCSI target.

  • Add initiator access to this block virtual disk using the initiator's IP or IQN.

• For the iSCSI target:

  • Create a user account on the iSCSI target. This account is the username/password that the initiator will use for CHAP. The username and password length must be a minimum of 12 characters and a maximum of 16 characters.

  • Bind this user account with the LUN corresponding to this virtual disk.
