Set the Initiator secret.
This is a password that must be set so that the Initiator can connect to the target
ETERNUS Disk storage system. The CHAP secret set here must match that set in Target
information.
Example:
To set the password "initiator000"
# iscsiadm modify initiator-node --CHAP-secret
Enter secret:initiator000
Re-enter secret:initiator000
Passwords are restricted to a maximum of 16 characters by the
Solaris operating system. For 17 or more characters, the following
message is output:
Iscsiadm: secret too long, maximum length is 16
Iscsiadm: Unable to complete operation
Set the Initiator CHAP Name.
The Initiator Node Name is the default Initiator CHAP Name. Use the "iscsiadm" command
to set a new Initiator CHAP Name. The Initiator CHAP Name set here must match that set
in Target information.
# iscsiadm modify initiator-node --CHAP-name CHAP_Name
Example:
To set "initiator" as the CHAP Name
# iscsiadm modify initiator-node --CHAP-name initiator
