April 2015
A VTL configuration guidelines
A.1 Managing VTL protocol accounts and credentials
A.1.1 iSCSI account details and management
By default the iSCSI Username will be the hostname of the DR and can be confirmed by
reviewing the output of the iscsi –account --user command. For example:
>iscsi --account --user
user: dr9-interop-a7
The default iSCSI Password is “St0r@ge!iscsi”. This can be modified by navigating to the
Clients Navigation option and selecting the iSCSI tab under the Clients menu. Select the
the Edit CHAP Password and fill in the new password as needed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: iSCSI CHAP Passwords must be between 12 and 16 characters long.
Alternatively, you may also use the “iscsi –setpassword” cli tool to change the iSCSI CHAP
Password setting as shown in the following example:
> iscsi --setpassword
WARNING: All existing iSCSI sessions will be terminated!
Do you want to continue? (Yes/no) [n]?
Enter new CHAP password:############
Re-type CHAP password:############
