AWS Storage Gateway User Guide
Creating a Volume
If you have defined your gateway to use multiple network adapters, choose the IP address that your
storage applications should use to access your volume. For information about configuring multiple
network adapters, see Configuring Your Gateway for Multiple NICs (p. 266).
Note
After you choose a network adapter, you can't change this setting.
8. Choose Create volume.
If you have previously created volumes in this region, you can see them listed on the Storage
Gateway console.
The Configure CHAP Authentication dialog box appears. You can configure Challenge-Handshake
Authentication Protocol (CHAP) for your volume at this point, or you can choose Cancel and
configure CHAP later. For more information on CHAP setup, see Configure CHAP Authentication for
Your Volumes (p. 64), following.
If you don't want to set up CHAP, get started using your volume. For more information, see Using Your
Volume (p. 65).
Configure CHAP Authentication for Your Volumes
CHAP provides protection against playback attacks by requiring authentication to access your storage
volume targets. In the Configure CHAP Authentication dialog box, you provide information to configure
CHAP for your volumes.
To configure CHAP
1. Choose the volume for which you want to configure CHAP.
2. For Actions, choose Configure CHAP authentication.
3. For Initiator Name, type the name of your initiator.
4. For Initiator secret, type the secret phrase you used to authenticate your iSCSI initiator.
5. For Target secret, type the secret phrase used to authenticate your target for mutual CHAP.
6. Choose Save to save your entries.
For more information about setting up CHAP authentication, see Configuring CHAP Authentication
for Your iSCSI Targets (p. 377).
