IBM System Storage DS3000 User Manual

Notes
An HBA or HCA host port is a physical connection on a host adapter that resides within a host computer.
An HBA or HCA host port provides access to the logical drives in a storage subsystem. If the host bus
adapter has only one physical connection (one host port), the terms host port and host bus adapter are
synonymous.
You can use any combination of alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores for the names. Host
names can have a maximum of 30 characters.

Notes
Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is a protocol that authenticates the peer of a

a password.
Use the chapSecret parameter to set up the security keys for initiators that require a mutual
authentication.
