Set CHAP for iSCSI
The CHAP settings apply to all AHV clusters that are configured under selected primary server. By default, the configuration is set to one-way CHAP.
Note:
For one-way CHAP option, no action is required.
To enable the Mutual CHAP option:
- On the left pane, click Nutanix AHV.
- On the top-right, select AHV settings > CHAP for iSCSI and select the appropriate Mutual CHAP option.
Note:
For Mutual CHAP, NetBackup credential management system auto generates the credentials with prefix AHV_ISCSI_MUTUAL_AUTO_ for the selected backup or recovery host. The iSCSI Mutual CHAP credential would be seen in the Credential Management tab.
Note:
By default, auto-generated credentials for the Mutual CHAP option are not visible to the users created by default AHV Administrator role. Security admin / root user must provide credential view permission to the particular user to view those.
This auto-generated credential in the Credential Management tab and cannot be edited, it can only be deleted. If it is deleted manually it gets recreated automatically when the next job for which this credential is generated runs.
