5.3.2 Adding iSCSI Initiators
The following procedure describes how to add iSCSI initiators. Adding initiators defines what
initiators have access to the target. You add iSCSI initiators by running the Add Initiator Wizard.
1. Perform one of the following steps in the Logical Resources tab:
– Click Initiator Resources. Then, on the iSCSI menu, click Add Initiator.
– Right-click Initiator Resources and click Add Initiator.
Either step starts the Add Initiator Wizard and displays the Create Initiator screen (see
Figure
5-22).

2. Complete the fields in the screen:
– Initiator Name. Enter the name of the iSCSI initiator you are creating. This name must
exactly match the name defined for the iSCSI initiator to which the XStack Storage unit
will connect; otherwise, the connection will fail.
– Password (optional). To use Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)
authentication when connecting to an iSCSI target, type the password that will be used
during mutual CHAP authentication when an initiator authenticates a target. For
security, each typed character appears as an asterisk (*).
– Confirm password. If you typed a password, retype the same one in this field. For
security, each typed character appears as an asterisk (*).
3. Click the OK button. The main screen reappears and the iSCSI initiator you created appears
under Initiator Resources in the Logical Resources tab.
